>Wally, it is if you're old enough to have a bad back! :-) I don't mind removing a spinet action. Doing so makes me unique in this area of the state. Does that tell you something? Is West Virginia unique? In another note I describe how we do the operation. I'm 50, but compete in karate, so maybe that helps. But my wife doesn't do the sports, & does the repair in the piano. Takes about 1.5 hrs. There's obviously going to be more work to do for which the action is better out. Usually I can do the job there, unless we're replacing felts & cloth & repinning. Most of the time these customers can't afford the whole 9 yards. On this issue I do what's necessary for the customer. There are times, however, when I turn dowon a job because I don't want my name attached to a halfway job. Wally Wilson
