On the subject of glides, they were turned up so high (as in out of the way, <BR>not a factor) that threads were beginning to strip. I can just picture that <BR>guy trying to get the action out after hammering it in and finding out the <BR>piano doesn't play. I'm going to put a little effort in to trying to find <BR>out who did this. I am not the kind of person that bad mouths anyone, but <BR>this has come home to roost in my house and I'm none to happy about it. <BR>Already talked to John Dewey and he can have me good as new for $430. I like <BR>John and have never used him, so if this project is a go I'll report back on <BR>rail replacement. <BR>Fenton <BR>----- Original Message ----- <BR>From: "Greg Newell" <gnewell@ameritech.net> <BR>To: "Pianotech List" <pianotech@ptg.org> <BR>Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 4:03 PM <BR>Subject: Re: Unbelievable Workmanship <BR><BR><BR>> David, <BR>> While not dyslexic I guess I expressed <BR>> myself that way.
