List, I do not think my subject heading is well worded, so I will have to explain myself. I have come across some pianos where a restorer has removed the plate with all the bolts and screws including the action standard bolts and then have put everything back together again. However in the process of removing and replacing the plate, it seems that the measurement for the height of the action standard bolts has been mixed up or forgotten and now the action is to one degree or another warped and also sits at the incorrect distance than it should or was originally. I have thought about it but have not been able to work it out. How does one work out the correct distance of the action from the plate or from wherever one measures it from? I do not know where to measure it from, I have thought maybe from the plate, maybe the soundboard, maybe the strings but where is a point that is uniform or reliable that one can measure from and how does one go about it? Phew!!! What a long winded question? Sorry? I am not able to ask it simpler or in fewer words. I hope you understand and are able to help, your responses would be appreciated.
