Rebuilding – The keys

So at last I’ve opted for some help…

Looks like we might need to find a way to limit the rubbing of the wooden pin under the keys against the board.  Time for a think,  I don’t think this is a job for oils.. maybe graphite (research time!)?  Anyway food for thought before I get the new found workforce back on task.
