[pianotech] S&S regulation problem

[David Nereson]

    Thanks to all for things to check and possible remedies on 
the problematic Steinway.
    Yes, it does have the pan head screws.  But the action isn't 
particularly light and I don't think it has fewer key leads than 
most Steinways.  I'd have to look to be sure, though.  I didn't 
even check the action spread, but I will.
    Wish there was a quick way to raise key height on the 
"accelerated action" balance rail -- I hate dealing with those 
balance rail  felt half-cylinders.  What are they called, 
anyway?  They're not really punchings.

Raising the key height should fix many of your issues. If the 
screws are to
long, (I have seen that before, because of the flange 
compressing) snip off
the tip. Using a washer may cause to screw to strip out.
