Since then I have not varied in that concept. It has served me well. Especially with some of the "turds" I've had to re-whatever.<G> End result, I have not been dissatisfied with any of my rebuilds over the years. I've been doing scale evaluations/upgrades for myself and others, lo these many years. Have not had other techs complain of any of the changes/results. (knock on a soundboard<G>) As for Klaus Fenner, it is my opinion that he just makes stuff up just to justify his "status"! Not a big fan of the man, in regards to piano design. Pretty much like Charles Fredrick Stein, IMHO! Regards, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T. (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares R I -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
