A request from Chile

[Fernando Rosas]

Farrell:

The problem is that here we don't have qualified technicians. They are all
self made technicians and they like (or need) to improvise with pianos. They
learn on the run. What I need is a technician who knows exactly what he or
she is doing. BTW, Yamaha is only a shop here, doesn't have service. So I
believe that it wouldn't be sufficient shipping the keys only. Furthermore,
in such a precise work, with many related components, I would think that it
must be applied considering the entire action.

Thanks for your advise.

Fernando

Consider also that all geometry changes (if any) and hammer leading/trimming
can be done by any competent/qualified tech. The only thing you will need to
ship to David or one of his authorized Touchweight installers would be the
keys for leading (keys would be MUCH easier to ship???).
