This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi List, Just thought I'd let you know how my long distance damper problem turned = out. When I arrived, there was one damper that had come out of it's = underlever assembly. The rest were intact. I did notice that the = damper wire was none too long, so I did a little sampling of the rest of = the wires as well, and found them all to be a little on the short side, = but functional nonetheless. They were quite uneven in length from one = to the next. So, what to do? Well, it was pretty close to a 3 hour = drive one way, so I decided that whatever I did, it had better count. = I ended up taking the time to put a little thicker felt blocks on the = back of the keys, probably 1/8"+, and raising the underlevers and damper = upstop rail a similar distance.=20 All in all, it was a really easy job, and I worried much too much about = it. While I was there, I did do a few little extra things with the = regulation and such, just to make it a little nicer. =20 It plays pretty well, and I have confidence that it's fixed. It's = interesting to see how far my work has progressed over the past two = years though. I saw quite a number of things that I'd do differently, = and better, if I could do it again. Chalk it up to experience, I guess. = :-) So that's it. (The short version, that is.) Thanks for all the advice.
