Travelling!

This is just a quick update to say that I am going to the island to recut the four lowest keys. They are all both out of tune, and have problems with the arch. When I was cutting them originally, I did not stop to consider where the keys would be resting on the frame; because of this, the arch overflows onto both support points, which means that the keys are in effect useless because it is impossible to drill holes in them without damaging the arcs or affecting their tuning significantly. Because of this, I need to recut and retune these keys. this is a bit of a hassle. but worth it to get keys that sound good...
