I consider it a challenge to get these things to play as well = as they can. --Cy-- ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Alan=20 To: 'Pianotech'=20 Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 8:33 PM Subject: Spinet backchecks was New Yamaha M500: "damper rest rail"?=20 Cy asked: Which reminds me, how the heck do you adjust the backchecks = on a spinet? I can hardly get a toothpick between the stickers, much = less my wire bender... If they are all messed up, it's easiest to remove the action and = adjust side-to-side and approximate front-to-back on an action cradle. = Also, square the heads.. Then, in the piano, you adjust front-to-back = (for checking distance) with a stick.=20 I kid you not. You can make your own stick (tool)--there's a pattern = for it in the Potter School literature--or the Goosemeister sells one = at: http://www.mothergoosetools.com/other_tools/other.shtml "Fine regulation" and "drop action" aren't really terms that go = together so this procedure works "well enough."
