Insensitivety

And thank YOU, Bob, for hopefully understanding that my mention of
'scab' operation was indeed that -- under the circumstances I
mentioned.

I must have misread the intent of your post. Perhaps others did too.
Although I've never had the last minute concert situation that Bob
[Davis] described, I also consider the scenario he describes as a
valid reason for going beyond what is considered "normal" procedures.

I would rather have responded on a higher level, such as Bob did. Oh
well, maybe my dealer experience will, at a minimum, create food for
thought when a technician finds him/herself confronting an old, WHITE
piano with mysterious regulation problems. 8-)

The important thing is that we understand the concepts involved. Once
the concept (action relationships) is grasped, adjusting gliders
becomes a matter of selective, situational usage. In retrospect, I
think that's what you were fishing for in your post.

BTW, I understand that Lloyd (whom I call "Rroyd") Whitcomb is alive
and well -- somewhere in Arkansas.

Jim Harvey, RPT

However I was surprised to see so little response to such a controversial
subject.  I do have an understanding of proper "accepted" regulation methods
but sometimes we must throw these aside to get the immediate job done.  I
was first introduced to unusual procedures "privately" by Loyd Whitcomb when
I attended Yamaha's Little red schoolhouse in 1987. I at first thought he
was joking but since then I heard from concert technicians who also in
certain instances used this method. I had thought that this forum would be a
proper place to explore all the aspects of this "living on the edge"
methodology.

Thank you Bob Davis, Vince, and Jim Harvey for your contributions
