---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List I just though I'd post a tech trick we've more recently employed. Recently Keith Roberts who works in the shop reminded me of a Spurlock technique for traveling. It requires a flat stick like the ones that come in the Renner shank boxes or something like it. With a square simply mark a multitude of lines the length of the stick. Next with the action stack sitting on a flat clean surface we use a square to travel the shanks on the end of each section so they're dead accurate. Then clip the stick -o- lines to the end shanks with clothes pins. Now as you lift up and down the shanks that travel are easily seen moving in reference to the lines. It's a slick trick & easy to see especially for those of us with bifocal. Prior to this we just used a square on each shank which made it tedious & eye straining. Any residual traveling will show up as a minor movement after the hammers are hung & can be easily corrected. You can also be sure that you didn't successfully travel all the hammers going in the same direction i.e. left -right Happy traveling Dale Erwins Pianos Restorations 4721 Parker Rd.
