David, It is the results of "racking" or "twisting" of the case, due to many = factors, most of which is poor design, but can be caused by too = much/improper restringing, etc. The way to test for "cheek lift" is to face the Square Grand, right = front..put both hands on the corner and push down. If the piano "rocks", = then it has "cheek lift". Of course, if the piano is on carpet, it may = still have "cheek lift", but you can't make the derned thing "rock". For = me, it's also a visual thingee, I can see it as something is not = "square"/"true". (I know, I'm weird. It's an affliction, I can tell if a = room is out of square too!) The main thing about "cheek lift", is, if the piano has it, be = careful....be VERY careful, as anything you do will exacerbate it....to = the point that the action is next to impossible to remove! DAMHIK!<G> = It's also a good indicator that the plate will break, sooner than later. Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
