Good post Paul Actually I refrain from posting often because of something probably silly. But,In the past when I have posted things I thought might be of interest, the silence was deafening so I don't know how to interpret that. Generally I classify it as disinterest due to the shop nature of the topic or that somehow due to cyber -dom My unbridled enthusiastic show and tell style is misconstrued as .......well...something else unintended. Dunno But since we're clearin the air. Dale Erwin PS Maybe it's my speliingg or Thesssar-u-s wrecx....Conrad...Nahhh. Please feel free to lambast me ----off list Hi: Contrary to what you might think, there are many of us (most) who will be more than happy to answer any piano-related question you may have. There are different repair procedures which have evolved over time for a particular malady. It's amazing to discover that, even for simple repairs, many different techniques exist. That's the advantage of this list. Even for replacing elbows in a spinet, many different tricks have been posted here. We have input from some of the finest technicians on this list, some of whom are piano designers, engineers, and rebuilders with decades of experience to draw from. It is natural for those technicians who are successful at the trade to evolve vastly different views regarding their particular methods of repair. A particular technician may have doing a repair for many years, and find that it works for him/her. He may have developed a theory of why this method works, and be convinced that this method is better than all others because he has "understood" the underlying cause of the problem. Another technician may have evolved a different understanding, and be convinced otherwise. Even though they may disagree with each other regarding a particular method or theory, we can all learn something from the debate. What is unfortunate is that too often the debate becomes personal, and an argument ensues. The egos get involved and it starts to get ugly. What to do? Somehow, the computer seems to depersonalize the other party. I doubt that such heated arguments would take place if we all sat around a big table face to face. If you have anything you'd like to inquire about, don't be shy. Ask! You just might find there's a LOT that can be gained by tapping into this great resource. By the way, what's your name?
