      Tim: This is a classic example of the lack of communication
between technicians and pianists! This gap could be greatly reduced if
performers understood the basics of "how the damn thing works!"  WE need
to educate them on the basics. But, we also need to play detective to
interpret their request to understand where they are coming from, and how
they understand the action. I usually ask them a series of questions to
narrow down the possibilities. Good luck!
