Ever have one of "those" days? I went into our piano lab last
Friday to tune<br>
an acoustic piano that's in there and discovered 4 broken Clavinova
benches <br>
laying in the corner under the grand! So, yesterday I reglued &
clamped 2 of <br>
them but had to cannibalize one that was too messed up to be worth
repairing<br>
anyway, for missing screws, parts, etc. <br><br>
Today I put them together, returned them to the room and while I was
there,<br>
went through all the benches tightening screws & leg bolts. It's
amazing<br>
how many screws there are on those benches: <b>32 </b>+ the 4 leg bolts.
Multiply <br>
that times 16 keyboards and that's 512 screws & 64 bolts! Plus the
two I <br>
repaired (& 1 more in the shop) to fix. I even found a S&S &
a Bose bench in <br>
there. <br><br>
Well, at least maybe that'll prevent any more from breaking for a
while!<br>
Now maybe I can get back to piano work! :-) <br><br>
