[CAUT] Capstans to Tray

[Keith Roberts]

I did a few more shank travelings and I found that the movement at the
hammer head is far larger than the movement at the shank. Using the stick
and clothespin method, a movement of a thick pencil line on the stick was
the equivelent of a mm to a 1/16 inch. On a piano that shanks hadn't been
traveled properly before hanging the hammers, flipping the stack over works
great. BUT..

On a piano I am going to hang hammers, the stick method works so well and is
so easy, I don't have to travel any of the shanks after I hang the set. It
saves so much burning and on this set I hung yesterday you can pick up the
hammers with a straight edge under the tails and they all sit flat on the
surface and don't move sideways as you move them up and down. I spaced them
evenly and all of a sudden this piano lines up. You know, all the ducks are
in a row, nice, neat and orderly.
You need to try this Fred.
Once you have the sticks made you may never go back.
You don't have to pull the stack, jack.
