This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Terry, I'll have to try that. I typically lean into the trebble in order to = hear it well. The grand is in bad shape. It's sitting at a thrift = store. I've been using it as a practice tuning piano. It sounds pretty = good all considering. It has several notes that don't play. one where = the key feels like it won't budge or depress. Another where you can play = it, and then it won't sound again. the hammers stay up. It needs some = new strings I'm sure proabalby all new strings, tuning pins tightened = plus a good refinishing job. They want 550$ for it. I'd give them 300$ = for it if I had the room. It would be a good project learning piano. = The one I Have now is an old Stark that I took the action out of, but it = needs too much work to be a useful tool for learning. I'd have to put = too much money into it I think. This piano I have, the frame and pin = block are seperated fom each other with a huge crack that extends across = the whole width of the piano on top. It was an old player that somone = put different piaces of wood on and this ugly spekley laquer. I kep the = keys and action. I need to get the rest out of here so my wife can have = more room in the living room for our son's toys et.

If so, yes, your lever will tend to = hit the rim. I sit on the side of the piano, typically with the right = front piano leg between my knees - then your lever extends out over the = capo bar - plus you can see where you are putting your mutes! Terry Farrell ----- Original Message -----=20 You mentioned a hammer with the ball on the end. When I was doing = some tuning training recently, the instructor had one the Joe Goss = sells. I think thy're pretty impressive levers. The one you mention is = a different brand, but similar in that it has a ball on the end. It's = amazing how many types of tuning levers are available out there. Ilove = the feel of the Schaff 21, but I need to order a longer head for when I = do grands, the head it came with, a 13g I believe, it hits the rim up = toward the trebble section, and one has to get in a crink to tune with = it. =20 Marshall ps. I'm curious, how did you attach the wood ball from Hobby Lobby = to your lever? Marshall ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
