Rebushing is the fix. As long as it is not the balance rail hole, that has been enlarged too much. If so steam may be able to shrink the holes, which can then be sized properly. Turning the pin, was an improper fix, in the past. I hope it has been discontinued. John M. Ross Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada jrpiano at win.eastlink.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: kurt baxter To: Pianotech List Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2007 2:17 PM Subject: New Remington, Shoddy key bushings I came across an issue in the field that I was hoping to get your collective opinion on. Brand new piano, a Remington... (Essentially a Samick with a marketing connection to Pramberger?) Anyway decent tone and tuning characteristics, but a very disappointing keyboard. The keys themselves look well made, but the bushings are shoddy- 6 of them are so saturated with glue they *click* like they have no bushings, and the rest are much looser that I would expect of a new piano. Some whites have more that a 16th inch of slop and a few of the blacks move up to an 8th on an inch. (This is front bushing) So my question is: Is turning the oval front rail pin EVER considered a valid adjustment on a brand new keyboard? Ethically and legally, what should my client expect from Samick? Just looking for a objective perspective. Thanks, Kurt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
