[CAUT] disabling individual notes

[Ward & Probst, Inc]

Alan,
Could you cut a slit to the center hole of the punchings and slip them
around the front rail pins?

Jeff,

Removing the hammer assemblies was my first thought, as that would be 
very quick and would surely disable the notes in question.  (It would 
definitely be much faster than pulling the stack to add to the front 
rail pile, although for $100/hr I will gladly do it!)  Problem was that 
the keys sagged in front without sufficient weight present over the 
capstan, and the pianist found that unacceptable.

Any particular reason you would use cardboard punchings instead of 
cloth?

Thanks,

Alan

Someone is paying me handsomely to realize their own tuning system for 
a couple of performances this weekend.  As a safety precaution, he 
would like to have the notes that he doesn't actually play (all of the 
Cs and Ebs, in this case) disabled.  The best idea I have come up with 
so far is to add another front rail cloth punching on top of the one 
that is already there for these keys, so the keys will barely depress. Is
there a better/easier way? I would probably opt for a stack of thick card
punchings rather than 
cloth, but that was just what I thought of first.  Seems like removing 
the hammers/shanks would be a little less trouble than pulling the 
stack and shimming each key front, but either way would do accomplish 
what you're wanting to do.  
Jeff

Thanks,
Alan
