*GRIN* Have you checked out the Millenium III action with all carbon parts?
If I wasn't a technician, I swear I could sell Kawais.

  One of them wouldn't grip at first, so probably the reverse is true, too
(Titebond preventing CA from gripping).  I used a different bottle of CA,
and that seemed to help, but the first bottle worked on the others.  I guess
I should have scraped both wood surfaces first; obviously there was some
glue there before (it looked bare, though).

  Those Kawai "black jacks" are looking better all the time...

    "...wouldn't have a problem with a drop of CA to all the rest to help

    Yeah, as long as the anticipated follow-up work was jack replacement,
rather than gluing with Titebond. I should think that application of CA to
the mating wood surfaces would pretty much ruin a good Titebond glue
surface.

      I agree, a little titebond applied with a toothpick or such and you
have a good repair.  I wouldn't have a problem with a drop of CA to all the
rest to help solidify them for the time being...

      Cy asked: " why are those =
      jacks made in two pieces to begin with?  Is it just so they can fail
in =
      a repairable way if regulation is off (too much aftertouch)?"

      Cy,
      Being the maker of obsolete action parts, I can say the Jack is the
most difficult item to make. (just close your eyes and try to imagine how
that configuration is cut!) It's made that way, because it's better, IMO
      BTW, I hope you are prepared to replace those jacks, as in fairly
soon, as CA doesn't last very well in Stress applications. Please don't do
that anymore. I don't care if it is in some PTG manual.....it's a bad way to
repair something like that! Especially in a high end piano! Yikes!
