Piano Key Leveling, Spacing, and Squaring

Over time, piano keys become out of level with each other, unevenly spaced, and tilted from side to side (out of square). This can cause the pianist some problems when trying to achieve uniformity of sound because the uniformity of touch is not present. It also looks bad from an aesthetic perspective.
