Then just ditch the monkey guides altogether so the cut out can be appropraitely minimized. I haven't tried adding this feature yet but I like this method of having the adjustment on the tray rather than the underlevers (as on some new pianos)where they tend to increase the damper noise.Nice job, Ron.
