After the keyboard blank is glued up, planed and marked out, the balance pin mortises are formed.

 
 
 


 

 

The rear guide is marked out

 
 
 


 

 

The dovetail mortises are sawed into the rear guide

 
 
 


 

 

The keys are cut apart, the balance rail cloth added and then the keys are fitted and spaced.
