Subj: Re: [kl] Rossi quality flaw

I repeat:

No, not a flat spring, a needle spring.

No, the spring isn't held to the key, it's held to the body.

No, the spring isn't in line with the key, it's perpendicular to it.

My problem is not a loose or missing screw.

This is not a normal configuration. I've never seen this configuraiton
either. I've been playing since 1963.
