<DIV>Roger,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sometimes finding a suitable place to do this kind of work--and a good explanation for what I'm doing--is difficult in the customer's home (which is where I always discover these problems). If the piano gets as much as a tuning in the store, it's lucky. I've strongly suggested that theseianos need far more prep than they're getting in the store, or this type of house call or going to get REAL expensive for them. "But then we can't sell 'em so cheap," is always the reply.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I call it lack of responsibility for products they sell.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dave</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite"><FONT size=3><BR>Are your findings going to help Bergmans at all...:-)?<BR> <BR>Thanks for helping the light bulb go on. </BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Yes. Ream the holes to the correct height. Lay the keys on the bench with the back checks hanging over the edge of the bench. Place a wet cloth over the B/R holes, and iron with a hot iron. This will generate enough steam to swell up the B/R hole.<BR>In this situation I don't bother easing the holes if they are a tad tight. Mother nature will take care of the tightness fairly quickly.<BR><BR>Roger</FONT> </DIV><!-- end of AOLMsgPart_2_934f5fca-843f-4572-b8b4-295d7007a956 --></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
