When you come back you will = find that some things which were very "fashionable" have gone by the = wayside, or worse, find out that a one time favored method or whatever = is actually considered harmful. (Sort of makes me think of a very funny = scene in Woody Allen's film, Sleeper.) Anyway, speaking of damper systems and trapwork--when I first started in = the business, I was told by John Ford (!), to remove the pitman, drill a = little hole in the end to insert a center pin (a small bit of the sharp = side protruding). This would keep the pitman in place and eliminate = noise. Since I've come back to work, I've read that folks make the hole = in the keybed larger. So, is it a toss up, or did I horribly damage all = those pianos where I inserted the center pin?=20 Anxiously awaiting enlightenment! :-) Barbara Richmond ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
