Hi Wim,
<G> Yes they can be a handful. Especialy if one does not notice which way the metal strap is pointed.
I usually do not have to mark which way it points, but lately my forgeter is getting better than my rememberer.
Forgot to mention that in the class. I guess it was becuase we did not have an Acro-sonic to work on.

I just spent 45 minutes replacing one hammer return spring. 5 minutes to replace the spring, and 40 minutes removing and replacing the fall board and action of a Baldwin Acrosonic spinet. Whoever invented the fall board system on that piano should be shot. No air condition, and today there are Kona winds, which means what ever wind there is comes from the south, it's very humid, and temperature is in the upper 80's. Sweating like a pig. (I know, quit your bitchin'.) :)
