[pianotech] Chickering quality

[A440A at aol.com]

<< I wrote a small article on my blog about a Chickering grand that 
displays a

remarquable alignment of the slots of the screws of the hinge of the cover.

(how to say this more elegantly?)  


I see that as a sign of attention to details that promise an overall quality

of assembly and design. >>

Greetings,
    Usually, when all the screws' slots are aligned, it means that some of 
them are not snugged all the way tight, and some of them are partially 
stripped.  
Regards,
