Hi Brian, Interesting storage solution they came up with. I have done fast semi emergency work of course but I really like to take my time doing a very detailed, thorough and exacting job of regulation. It took us two days to decide upon the plan of action, exploring and explaining all the options. I wanted to taper the hammers and re-weigh the action but he didn't so we came up with the solution that worked for him. His money after all. Yes I was on vacation and Fernando and I had a lot of fun doing the project. He commented often how hard I was working but I was working at my normal age induced slow pace. When moving the stack any distance at all it takes time to decide what values to use and almost everything has to be done, let-off, drop, dip, etc., etc. Also I tuned it and voiced it. The voicing I did one day and finished it a day and a half later, giving the hammers time to show their colors. :) I did not at all like the regulation I found on the piano. It was not due to instability or new parts, just poor regulation of a Yamaha "Technician". Sheesh, if I can't do any better than that I would quit! Thanks for the picture show and the note. Have a great weekend (already started me thinks). Newton
