Ralph Black RalphBl@aol.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph, Rick Florence suggested checking the bolts holding the treble leg and I agree. I came to a Yamaha G2. The front legs used long bolts, the back leg used even longer lag screws (with a heavy wood-screw-type thread). The movers had used a lag screw on the front leg. It went through the t-nut that holds the bolts on, up against the bottom of the action and raised the action until it was jammed against the pinblock, and kept on turning until the lag screw sheared off in the t-nut. I tried drilling into what was left of the lag screw and removing with an easyout, but no luck, so I had to remove the keybed. Fortunately it was not glued on, only screws and guide dowels. Good luck. Jack jack_reeves@byu.edu
