bench grand regulation

[Farrell]

Thanks Howard. Yes, I always do clamp the action frame in place on my flat
bench. I usually have pretty good luck getting real close on the bench
regulation. This particular comment was referring to those few piano keybeds
that look like an over-cooked lasagna noodle - you know, like the 1915
Brambach 4' 8" grand with the apparent water damage. Have a great day!
