No Power Yamaha revisited

[Isaac OLEG]

Hello,

I prefer tapping on the capsule, on Bechstein I 've seen regulating
bolts with a sharp end it is then impossible to tap on it.

the tone is audible in the capsule also, and the knock when lifting
confirm where you are.

Lifting the bolt with 2 fingers is OK for Steinways (a little hard on
the fingers).
To hold the extreme bolts I've find that the use of a #8 round key
(for nuts) is giving us strength and a good holding on these not very
accessible bolts.
