[CAUT] practice rail

[Cy Shuster]

I've installed their QuietKeys product on my own console for the same  
reason, and it works pretty well for the purpose (if a little over- 
priced).  It's aluminum, with an oversized amount of felt that you  
trim to fit.  The fixed part of the frame clips onto tuning pins, and  
a scissors mechanism moves the piece holding the felt up and down. The  
cable works just like a bicycle brake cable.  I ran it out over the  
top of the bottom board cover and attached it to the underside of the  
keybed.  I didn't have to make any adjustments to letoff (I haven't  
actually regulated this piano since I got it).

I can send a picture if you like.
