The capstans (which have rather a short wire) have been cranked in places to make them do so. This was the first hint I had that all was not perfect. At first I cursed the key-maker, then I cursed the action-maker and the Spaethe people that allowed the job to be botched. As I said, I shall be looking at the key scale next before proceeding. Almost certainly the key-frame will need to be shifted and with luck things will line up and I'll be able to straighten the soldier wires. > Are the bass butts too far to the right, or their shanks shorter? Neither. The bass is fine all through. JD
