Hi !

You can detach the capstan-whippen assembly, you just have to force a =
little bit because the base of the whippen is only "clicked" on a =
centerpin in the key slot.=20
If you force a little bit, you'll hear a click, and the key will be =
free.
The advantage of this action is that you can level the keyboard very =
easily, because even with the whippen clicked on the key, you can lift =
the key and take it off the balance pin to insert your punchings.

Be careful of the jack's elbow (which comes in contact with the let off =
capstan), because on old erard grands, they sometimes break when you =
lift the key.

Here is the URL that you lost:
http://fractales.inria.fr/~louchet/perso/pianos.html

Did you try to contact the guy from the website again? Last time his =
email adress didn't work.

Bye!

Quentin
