Regulating tables

[Lance Lafargue]

I used well seasoned cedar for the frame (lots of support beams) with a
marine particle board top (won't warp).  Keep in mind that the keybed is
not perfectly flat.  You should only be doing a rough regulation on the
bench.  After doing a bench regulation, I re-regulate in the piano, using
the Spurlock let-off jig to save time, and I'm done pretty quick now.
Plenty of time to seat hammers, tune, voice, etc.
