    Could anyone recommend a good key recovering shop? My former guy retired. This would be for the average console & spinet job.

    Look in the back of the Journal’s Classified section. There a number of people offering their service.

    Thanks, Wim. I was just looking for recommendations, as the last shop I used did a terrible job. I had to re-file all the keys myself.

    I second Debra Legg. Quick turnaround time, good communication (especially if a set is going to take longer than expected), reasonable prices, and great quality. I've sent in some sets that took a bit more time and effort on her part due to the keys having had previously bad jobs done on them (including all key tops being lost) and she and her team did excellent work!

    Santos (Saint) Santiago does this. He's in Arizona. You can tell him that I recommended him. He's a PTG member, originally from New York. Not sure if he's an RPT. pianomansaint@me.com - (717) 283-6443 - https://www.pianomansaint.com/
