Greeetings List,

                Thank you for the information and suggestions. I have decided 
to go back and adjust the hammer rest rail via the pedal wing nut back to 
spec of approx 50mm 1.75" plus/minus as I found it and as sugessted by this list. 


                 I am also going to advise the player to use the middle 
pedal, (which is a practice mute rail) instead of the soft pedal for the softening, 
and explain piano quality: Una corde 101, if you will, ie: the difference 
between a grand's una corde and the "poor man's" una corde as in the upright. I 
have heard this referred to as poor man's una corde before. I guess I gotta 
"spilll the beans". 

                 It's a shame. They just purchased this Kawaii in March of 
this year ( I have to look closer at the exact model of Kawaii when I return), 
and their daughter is aspiring to be a real fine player, at 14, she played with 
a symphony in NYC and is expected to commence piano study at Oberlin 
Conservatory in the fall!  How the piano dealer could sell this type of piano to this 
caliber student, I'll never know! 
   
                   When I "spill the beans" they may decide to return the 
piano to the dealer in order to get something better, if they tell the dealer 
that I told them this una corde stuff, the dealer may not like me so much for 
telling all, and may not hire me again for his 'first free tuning' on his piano 
sales. 

                  But then again, do I really want to work for a dealer such 
as this? I know that, in the long run, I will get a better reputation and more 
business by steeriing folks in the right direction, because that's what a 
business is built on; integrity.
