  List,

              I'm servicing a Steinway M. " <SNIP>           I found the =
hammer shank action centers to be very tight. Two- Three swings only.=20

  Opinions?<SNIP>

  List,

              Thank you for your suggestions. Certainly there are varied =
opinions on the best course of action, but a common thread seems to =
point to a somewhat unevenness in the centers after alc-water treatment. =
With two visits necessary for application and final adjustments, It =
occurs to me that reaming and repining in one visit may result in  more =
consistantancy in essentially the same time. I have the Don M. reamers =
and can move right along once the correct reamer- center pin combination =
is established.=20

              Also, I have not bought methanol in some time --- used to =
get in the Pharmacy but heard it was no longer available there. =
Suggestions on where to purchase? I assume 50% mix of alc- water is =
correct.

              I had an old timer suggest Vodka if methanol is =
unavailable. Looks a little funny when you carry a vodka bottle in from =
the car though!.Comments welcome.=20

              Sincerely,



              Tom Driscoll   R.P.T. (registered procrastinating tuneboy)
