Quite likely. Not knowing anything about folks' extended skillsets around here
(staying
on topic does that) I can only speak to what I know.
Besides, depending on what kind(s) of milling machine
that he has or has
access to, it would be straight forward for him to mill a LONG piece of
brass stock to fit. Then he could cut short pieces for the key blanks.
That would make sense. I don't think it would compromise the strength of the bows of
the keys that would be cut out of it.
If actually milling or "dremel milling" the
grooves, paracentric and
non-paracentric would not differ much. BUT, if it is non-paracentric,
then a thin piece of flat brass stock coule fit into the keyway without
necessarily haveing to mill alll of the grooves and/or not having to mill
them deeply.
That also makes sense. If, in the process of construction a test fit bore that out
I'd call it a happy coincidence and run with it.
