Setting glide bolts

[Frank Weston]

I also use this method.  It has the advantage of being quick, not requiring
any expensive special tools, not requiring the action to be disassembled in
any way,  and being fairly precise.   I will also admit to using glide bolt
adjustment to fine tune keydip on some cheaper grands.
