The sticker was, of course, peeling up at the edges. Was it not? (whatever that means too) One of my favorite things about these fine products of the "American Craftsman" was that the letoff rail was hung on such flimsy and flexible brackets that a medium hard blow would block hammers where there was a good 3/16" letoff. Strangely enough, it wouldn't do this when only one key was being hit, but would when striking an octave. Maybe it has something to do with spreading the load out on the rail, or the load compliance of the fingers spread to span an octave. Whatever, it's not only frustrating and mutter provoking when that happens repeatedly during a tuning, it also hurts (which I take personally). I bet a better quality sticker would have helped. And then there are the "players"...groan. Ron N
