Terry, I was referring to what I call "ancient" instruments, i.e. pre-1880's. For "modern" piano restoration/rebuilding, I always modify/modernize to facilitate ease of work/operation. This is ok with me and SHOULD be done by any "competant" "Rebuilder", IMO. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Been There, Didn't Like It, So I'm Here To Stay! [G}
