<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>RE: Hypothetical situation</title> </head> <body> Hiya Wim, The question is a little hard to answer without knowing how things stand. Jack height (rep lever window height) might be key to better repetition, or maybe setting letoff a little closer or a little farther away, or checking, or  ... I guess I'm saying, hyper-pathetically, that your question is a little too hypothetical, for me.

As I was working, a thought occurred to me. What if I was given one tool, and one hour, what would I do to make the action play better. So that is my question to your guys.  What regulation would you do in one hour, using only one tool? (You may do two regulations, but you are still only allowed to use that same tool). Please explain what you would do, and why? No repairs are needed, and the time does not include tuning. Have fun.  <div style="clear: both">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician Honolulu, HI Author of The Business of Piano Tuning available from Potter Press www.pianotuning.com</div> <div class="AOLPromoFooter"> <hr style="margin-top: 10px"/>More new features than ever.
