  the keys?"
  Barbara,
  Okeedokee!<G> You hold it on each key, when the action is in the =
piano. I suggest you have a fairly good regulation for this. Of course, =
once you're done with this little job, the regulation will be =
gunny-sack!<G> However, you will have burnished all the moving parts, =
that you put teflon on, etc.
  After, it's time for a fine regulation. Kinda like pitch raising and =
then fine tuning.<G>
  It takes a bit to get the feel of how to hold the "pounder" on each =
key, but the learning curve is short. Too deep and it doesn't work the =
action. Also the Jig Saw will bounce! (Yikes!<G>) Too shallow and you'll =
get pppppp where the hammer only hits the string every few strokes. When =
you are in the "zone" the pounder will create a FFF rapid playing. (Wear =
Ear Protection!!!!!)
  Of course speed is important. I usually set it at a tempo of about =
180, on the metronome scale. Sometimes a little faster in the treble and =
a little slower in the bass. Truly, tis a fun toy ..er tool, to have!<G>
