Bob Love this kind of story. Dale I had a client with a key that wouldn't reset on his console. He was a retired Highway Patrolman, so he just glued a .38 slug to the back of the key. I pulled the action, & checked everything out including the wip center. Everything was fine. I noticed I could wiggle all the other notes by lifting the backchecks 1/16" and they would reset when released slowly. Then I saw that on the offending note, the back of that key had been originally sawn skinnier than the others, making it light enough at the back that the weight of the wip + the weight of the back of the key was not enough to counterbalance the front of the key. I just left his slug on and tuned the piano. For once, the obvious solution was correct ! Bob Davis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
