Re: Speaker Key Touchpiece Height; What Is Your Preference?

I once put a pair of 1010s in for repair. When I got them back I was horrified to find the tech had bored recesses into the upper joints on both Bb and A so the heal of the speaker went further down. He never even asked whether I wanted that done and as far as I was concerned it was unnecessary. ChrisP describes the recess technique.

Now I always make it a rule to tell techs not to remove any wood and to speak to me first if there is an issue. It’s not as if the tech was new to the game either, though known more as a Buffet specialist. He was good and well known, based quite near Tower Bridge in London, who departed to warmer climes some years ago. Some will know who I mean.
