<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think there's value in learning
regulation using a variety of approaches (OK, I stole that from Ed Sutton
during a conversation tonight--I agree with him, and he always puts things
so nicely.). :-) </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Personally, I like "Where's the jack", which always
reminds me of the old Wendy's commercial, "Where's the beef?"
(and the "Big fluffy bun..." which a friend and I laughed
hilariously about one night as we were duped into driving an obscene number of
miles to pick up a grand action for another technician and
stopped at a really rotten restaurant for dinner. Well, if we had known it

think people don't realize that 37 steps (which, btw, I see more
as <BR>chapter <BR>titles) is a way to become familiar with piano
regulation functions and <BR>not an end unto itself. After becoming
familiar enough with regulation, <BR>and how the action works, anyone can
let the "piano tell them" what it <BR>needs. We are Piano Whisperers!
