keybed support

[Farrell]

I have one and use it sparingly. It is actually quite solid and supports a grand action very well. The only reason I don't use it more often is because I do not do repeated regulation on any one instrument. I think if one had some performance pianos (university, recording studio, accomplished pianist clients, etc.) that warranted (or the customer was willing to pay) frequent regulation touchup, it would be a very valuable tool. For the once every 50+ year regulation, for me, it just isn't worth drilling a hole to install the darn thing - then again, most of these actions are so bad that they need a stop in my shop for repairs before any regulation is done and I end up doing most of the regulating in my shop.
