I concur with Ric and how DID YOU TAKE THOSE PICS?    My head wouldn't fit into the action cavity...;-]

>Hi Barbara

>Now THAT is a nicely profiled capo bar IMHO. Nice shot too !  And the

>Barbara ?  And do you notice any of the same kind of problems that your

>Tell us more.

>Hi all,

>I have considered all my options and have decided to go in prepared for 
>all of them.  Ric Brekne encouraged me to have another go at the filing 
>(a la Ed McMorrow's suggested shape).

>Last night I remembered that Ed actually filed the capo on MY piano.  
>(Now there's a  story!  He was using my piano for a seminar class.  The 
>action stack to my piano ended up getting lost by the airline, so it 
>missed the seminar but eventually was found in Europe.  That's the 
>condensed version.)

>Anyway, if you are interested, here are two pictures to compare (if you 
>can).  001 is the Seiler.  002 is my Steinway which has the McMorrow 
>v-shape.
