Todd Your asking the wrong question. The wire should go into the new elbow so that the distance between the bottom of the elbow and the regulating button is about the same distance as the old elbow and regulating button. It doesn't have to be exact, but you'll save yourself a lot of regulating time if you can get that distance close. When you've measured one, look to see how far onto the elbow the lifter wire is screwed, and then do the same with the rest.

OR, does it not matter? TODD PIANO WORKS Matthew Todd, Piano Technician (979) 248-9578 http://www.toddpianoworks.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
