Concerning the question on loose Boston grand damper tray screws: If you haven't done any disassembly of the damper tray yet, you may not have to. I have several Boston GP178s I care for at University here and have had several occasions to get in on these silly screws and have devised a simple method to save redoing a perfectly good damper regulation. Take a regular thin 6" steel rule (one that you don't like) and make a crisp 90 degree bend at 3mm, then again the opposite way at 30mm. Now you have a very slim offset flat-head screwdriver that can deliver surprising torque. Some of the angles are a bit close and a little clearancing out of the side of the rule where it contacts the tray (between about 10 and 25mm would increase the arc you can achieve with the screwdriver under the tray. Now it takes 15 minutes instead of 2 1/2 hours to tighten the screws. chuckbeck Chuck Beck Piano Services 1605 West Main St., Decatur, Il 62522 (217)620-0842 (309)451-4652 mrchuckbeck at mail.com www.chuckbeckpianoservices.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
