If so, how did you set bearing >combining the two techniques? What was your reasoning in keeping the rear >duplexes? 1. It was me first opportunity for the vertical leap. 2. Setting the treble rear duplex bearing as usual and tweaking the non-duplex section's down bearing is refined with vertical pins. Also the bass bridge cap was replaced with a taller one to accommodate the new hitches. 3. Reasoning...economy (those bass hitches were a bear) and not wanting to get too far afield. It was a customer's piano in for re-restringing and action regrooving (read truck-like) correcting a previous rebuild. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
