The bottom manual activates both the short and long string. Question: Should the two plecterns be adjusted so that they hit the two strings at the same time, or should there be a delay between the two of them? If there needs to be a delay, how much of a delay should there be, and should the longer string hit before the shorter, or the other way around?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>On a different topic, but with the same h'chord. The lever that activates the long strings is broken. (I mean, the lever is literally broken off, right where it enters the cabinet). Where can I get a new one?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Wim </DIV> <DIV><FONT lang=0 face=Arial size=2 PTSIZE="10" FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Willem Blees, RPT<BR>Piano Tuner/Technician<BR>School of Music<BR>University of Alabama<BR>Tuscaloosa, AL USA</FONT></DIV></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
