<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've done several squares, and they =
are not that
difficult. Spend a little time figuring out the tuning pin =
field, maybe
make some labels for the pins to aid you in locating the right pin for =
the
note you're tuning. On a couple of the squares I've tuned, I had =
to
remove the damper mechanism to get to the strings for muting. It =
was not
difficult. The flange rail was secured by a pivot screw on each =
end. The
damper "levers" just sit on top of a post that is lifted by the =
key. The
clever simplicity of it is amazing. If it still has the oval =
tuning
pins, make sure your tuning lever head is double ended with the =
sockets
at 90 degrees to each other. You'll understand the importance of =
this
when you begin to tune. Enjoy the learning =
experience.</FONT></DIV>
