[pianotech] Al in N.C.--Question on procedure was- Best way to change touch in Yamaha grand

[KeyKat88 at aol.com]

Greetings,
 
      In a thread in early January on 'Changing touch in a Yamaha grand' 
you state:
 
>using a sharp chisel cut the punching at an angle toward the front of the 
key (\) not straight down (I). You >can start in the center of the hole or 
the front of the hole. 
 
    Just for clarity, on the orientation of the slope of the cut:

When the key is returned back to the frame, does that punching cut end up 
sloped from the top of the punching down towards the front of the key or from 
the bottom up towards the front of the key? The reason I ask in this way, 
is that if I am cutting a punching I am likely holding the key upside down to 
do the cut and I am not sure if your directions are as one holds the key to 
make the cut, or if you have in mind how it ends up oriented in the key 
frame .
 
    
 
Thanks,
Julia Gottshall
