Action Model

[hubert liverman]

Hi Julia,

I missed your post, and am answering under Dons reply. I am working on a one
octave 'chopped up' upright action to demonstrate different
regulation,tone,geometric,etc. problems . To demonstrate
hammer,damper,butt,key felt problems,  in hard,worn out,crusty,moth eaten
felt is obvious to us.Leave one hammer,wippen,damper,key unit easily
removable,to do so. The more variation in the remainder is the best model.
Cosmetically,replace one keytop and black one sharp/flat. The visual aspect
of worn parts is important, and an essential tool in educating our
customers,employers. Save some eaten up/shot parts and use them in the
model. The esoteric,arcane fine points of regulation are I hope are not in
question here,as we are talking about demonstration action model. I do not
see why you should not build your own.
