Jon Page said: "Remove the action. It's too difficult to remove the rail in the piano. No It's Not! The keys may have to be removed first with newspaper placed over the key pins so the stickers do not get caught in them. Same process to install the action. A better way is to "retain" the wire stickers with miniature bungie cords, that you can get in the camping section of any store. Fairly simple. The trick is not to damage the damper heads on the stud at the bass/tenor break. Excellent suggestion! The best thing is to remove those two damper heads, before removing the action. Much safer.. Don't place the coils against the rail, leave a small space. either a steel rule or the back edge of a razor blade. I understand your reason for this, but I've never had a problem with the coils being snug up against the rail. Luck? Maybe.<G> I wouldn't bother, but, if it works for you...go for it.<G> Regards, Joseph Garrett, R.P.T. Captain, Tool Police Squares R I
