Tom, It is made this way to allow support between the scale breaks without compromising key strength. Kawai (along with the other companies who use this system) feels that these benefits outweigh the disadvantage of having to move the action in and out to adjust it. Don Mannino RPT From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Tom Driscoll Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 7:19 PM To: Pianotech Subject: [pianotech] Fw: 4 pictures for you List, I have a question about the glides on this Kawai keyframe. The second glide from the bass end has no adjustment screw on the top and is shaped different from the others underneath. I've seen this set up on other Kawai frames, most recently on a Boston grand made by Kawai. In order to adjust that glide the keyframe has to pulled and it is adjusted from below . It takes a few tries to get it right but I just can't figure out the logic on why this one glide is different from the others. Ideas? Tom D. images of the glide in question and a more conventional glide from top and bottom. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
