Regarding the trapwork alignment issue, I agree with Mark Storey about the design being ultimately up to the installer. Mark and I have found designs that work well and produce no complaints. It's important for the installer to keep in touch with the people that have this work done to their pianos. I personally guarantee each installation that I do. This takes the dealer off the hook for any expenses that involve my failure to provide a good solid installation. As an incentive to see how my installations are holding up, I also provide a free in home tuning. This is basically giving the customer no excuse not to call me for service should they be having a problem with their PianoDisc or Pianomation. If there is a problem with trapwork alignment, chances are very strong that the rest of the installation was out of line also. The removal of the mechanism and re-activation of the old levers and such, could be very easily done with some planning, some imagination and some experience with re-constructive carpentry.
