Once I located the bench, I was able to get started.  It took me longer because I couldn't figure out how t get the silly front music desk and front panel off until later on.  It also had regulating issues, dampers were too close to the strings and up in the trebble area and made a thunk sound like a harpsichord.  I had to work  with them quite a bit.    Hers my point finally, :) I tuned with ear plugs the ones from Diane here on the list.  Diane if you're out there I need you to send me your address privately so I can pay for these little life savers.  I was able to tune the piano during a bingo game!  This one old lady kept complaing about playing the darn, for list purposes, piano. :)  Thanks t o all of you out therewho recommend ear plusg They're great!  They filter out a lot of junk especially on my wife's Kimball artist console.  Thanks guys!
