---------------------- multipart/related attachment --1e0.37c250f3_alt_bound Hi All, Here are a couple of photos of the grand action caddy that Laroy Edwards makes and sells. I used it yesterday for the first time, but I forgot to take the camera to the jobsite. Hopefully these shots around my workspace at home will give you an idea. The piano I used it for yesterday was the Erard that I'd worked on a couple of times. I did a very rough regulation of blow distance, let-off, drop, and repetition to render it at least playable. Israel Stein said that getting these pianos into really fine regulation is nearly impossible, and I'm beginning to believe it. The one thing I really need for working on this or other Erards in the future is a capstan tool. Nothing I had fit the six-sided turnbuckle type capstans, other than a small pair of vice grips. Not ideal for speed or delicacy...:-( If anyone has a suggestion for where I can get an appropriate tool, I would appreciate it! I do not much care for the rep/jack spring configuration on these. The springs are quite long, and not that easy to tension accurately. The best thing about using the table on this job was the ease in getting to the other side of the action--by swiveling it around on the wheels in a confined space-- without walking around in circles all day. I managed to yank the rep springs out of the jack slots a few times, and had to pull wippens to get them back in. Hope the pics give you an idea, Dave Stahl Table in Garage String height simulator (attached to keyframe when in use) --1e0.37c250f3_alt_bound An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
