Vince, You mean you have actually come upon a piano with front glides that was bedded correctly? <g> I figure one of the problems is that it is difficult to impossible to get the blocks (and their adjustable bent metal glides) to just exactly the right downward pressure. Even the tiniest amount of excess pressure will bow the middle of the front rail up, because the outer glides act as pivot points. And not enough means the whole rail has room to bounce.
