Hi Terry and Jon: Thanks for your answers. Will Truitt From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Jon Page Sent: Sunday, July 13, 2008 10:09 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Hitch Pin Replacement Question You mentioned that you replaced only the bass and tenor section hitchpins with a vertical hitchpin. Why not the whole enchilada? Am I corrected in surmising that the piano on which you left the treble hitch pins alone had rear duplexes? 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...
