Glide bolts thread

[Greg Newell]

Wamrest Greetings all,

      I got one for ya! I recently picked up an action from a fairly young
Knabe grand in a Mormon church (gosh they pay well) where the glide
bolts were up so high that the front rail was WAY up off the keybed. I
found it because a couple of notes were blubbering, ....go figure.
Anyway virtually all that can be wrong with a regulation is wrong and
I sold the job. Now that the action is shopbound and disassembled I
find that the keyframe is indeed quite warpped. Have any of you out
there had any success in straightening a warpped keyframe? Yes?
How????
I REALLY want/need to know. I think the fact that the glide bolts were
up so high combined with northern winters and churches heated only
when there's someone in the building helped cause this but I'm not
nearly as interested in the cause as I am in the cure. ALL POSTS
WELCOMED!
                        Thanks,
                              Greg
