Kawai Damper Rail Problem

Hi Jon,

   You're correct. That would probably have worked (and it was a phillips)
but I didn't want to take the time to leave campus and go buy me a screw
driver t_h_a_t long. :-)
   The only problem I MIGHT have had, was that the wood blocks had a
slight amount of glue on them to help hold them to the tray (in addition
to the screws). Because of not being able to see well, I "might" have
thought there was another screw somewhere that I couldn't see. The block
had to be forcibly removed to break the glue joint. Next time I'll know.
At least on Kawai's. :-)
   Thanks again.

Avery
