yamaha spinet

[Farrell]

Hi Gregor - somehow you got your authors mixed up - I had wrote in that I 
removed a fallboard from a Yamy spinet, but not the action. However, come to 
think of it, I think that I did have to remove the action. I don't remember 
how long it took, but don't those actions have the separate sticker rail for 
the key capstans like the old Acrosonics and Wurlys? If so, they really come 
out relatively easy - just watch those low tenor damper felts as you remove 
it.

And if there is not enough money for that task, you are not charging enough!
