The only problem= was that when I got the action spread measured and set, then set= the blow distance, the clicking was still there.  Turns out= they were tapping the wippen assist springs as the hammers= bottomed out.   Everything lined up and regulated= okay but for this.  Has anybody here had this problem on= these pianos before and come up with a decent solution?  I= experimented with the action spread a little bit, but things= just did not line up the way they're supposed to.  = The hammer tails are pretty thick.  I experimented= with shaving off some of the undersides so that they would miss= the springs altogether, and it seemed to do the trick.  = Any ideas on this?  I'm sending my claim form off= to Meadowlands Piano Service today, so now it's my baby...= Thanks, as always, Dave Stahl= </BODY></HTML>
