right, you can do a few at a time. Going up forces you to do more<br>
than one at a time because you are raising the socket screws against the<br>
plate whose stiffness will provide resistance to raising the
screw. Going <br>
down you can lower each screw as you go by, say, 1/4 turn or whatever and<br>
the plate will flex only when you tighten down the acorn nuts. As
Ron said,<br>
just do it incrementally.<br>

Up... But since the point of this piano is to experiment and see "what<br>
happens if"...<br>
I'll play with down as well.<br>
