Ladies and gentlemen---we need help on this one. A nice man bought a super
clean, super-functional instrument, great board and bridges, pristine for
its age; he wants to refelt/renew/replace inside and around the action,
which is the old school overdamper style. BUT---the best, cleanest one I've
ever seen. And the piano has a deep, rich tone. So we need
-regulation specs on this type of action
-regulation procedures
-best tuning protocols

See some pictures of the piano here:

Mr. Garrett? Anyone? The man or woman who is intimately familiar with fine
regulation of this type of action may well be hired for an hour or so at
their highest rate so we can pick your brains with no holding back.

Eagerly awaiting your replies.....
