Jon, I solved the noise issue as you suggested when I was still at the customers. Thanks for that suggestion. There are other issues such as the Damper Up-stop rail and general maintenance which I am looking to address. The screws to the plate stretcher sounds like a possibility that is worth looking at. If there are screws to be removed, will I see them by looking from the rear of the piano perspective, between the tuning pins and the stretcher board? This seems to be the only place where they could be. Am I correct? _____ From: Jon Page [mailto:jonpage at comcast.net] Sent: Friday, November 23, 2007 5:27 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Heintzman 186 Conservatory Grand Problem >... pinblock to flex downward... >...pin block delamination... Glenn said: flange screws were hitting on the stretcher board If the fastener on the rest rail has is slotted you might be able to reach in with a long screw driver blade and tighten it. One thing to consider though is if the bottom fastener has migrated lower because of not being locked in place and in which case might force the rail down onto the rear of the wippens. Look at the behind the stretcher to see if it is screwed to the plate. I've seen some stretchers which have to be removed in order to get the action out.
