[CAUT] Weber concert grand

[Cy Shuster]

I've been on it a couple of years; it's been around since at least 2001.  Frank Woodside runs it.  It's pretty much taken over from the old Usenet group, rec.music.makers.piano.  Lots of newbies mixed with high-level amateurs in the main Piano Forum, with lots of emotion about particular brands (and much misinformation).  More and more techs are showing up in the Piano Tech's Forum that I know from the PTG lists.  It's an interesting mix.  There are forums dedicated just to playing the darned thing, too.

  Keith,

  Thanks very much for pointing me to Ron Overs' posts.  Very useful-I've not seen the Piano World forum before.  Looks like a very wide variety of people post there.  How long has it been operating?

  Since you are replacing the wippens it certainly is the time to move to capstans. Ron Overs had a great post on how to find the proper alignment and placement (height and such) of the heel contact point. It was a half a year ago on Piano World. Do a search by name. He doesn't have that many posts. I'll see if I can't find it but I'm on dial up here.

  Thanks Ed.  I'm familiar with the tools necessary, however this instrument is slated for a rebuild anyway, so the feeling was, why not update the action while we're at it?
