<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><G> Yes they can be a handful. Especialy if
one does not notice which way the metal strap is pointed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I usually do not have to mark which way it points,
but lately my forgeter is getting better than my rememberer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Forgot to mention that in the class. I guess it was
becuase we did not have an Acro-sonic to work on.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><WBR>I just spent 45 minutes replacing one hammer return
spring. 5 minutes to replace the spring, and 40 minutes removing and
replacing the fall board and action of a Baldwin Acrosonic spinet.
Whoever invented the fall board system on that piano should be shot. No air
condition, and today there are Kona winds, which means what ever wind there
is comes from the south, it's very humid, and temperature is in the
upper 80's. Sweating like a pig. (I know, quit your bitchin'.)
