I have these written down somewhere but can’t find them and I don’t trust my memory. I’m correcting a problematic action and believe the stack to be too high since to get the proper blow distance the shank cushions have been reduced to nubs. The bore distance of the hammers is correct and the string heights are in the normal range.</SPAN></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT> </P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Thanks!</SPAN></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT> </P> <P class=MsoAutoSig><I><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=red size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: red; FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-FAMILY: 'Book Antiqua'">Eric Wolfley, RPT</SPAN></FONT></I></P> <P class=MsoAutoSig><I><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=red size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: red; FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-FAMILY: 'Book Antiqua'">Supervising Piano Technician</SPAN></FONT></I></P> <P class=MsoAutoSig><I><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=red size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: red; FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-FAMILY: 'Book Antiqua'">College-Conservatory of Music</SPAN></FONT></I></P> <P class=MsoAutoSig><I><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=red size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: red; FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-FAMILY: 'Book Antiqua'">University</SPAN></FONT></I><I><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=red size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: red; FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-FAMILY: 'Book Antiqua'"> of </SPAN></FONT></I><I><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=red size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: red; FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-FAMILY: 'Book Antiqua'">Cincinnati</SPAN></FONT></I></P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN></FONT> </P></DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
