<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=3></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=3>Well, the details are, there is minor
splitting--I was planning on using CA and trying to be neat and tidy
about the delivery. This is practice, so when I really need to be
neat, I can pull it off. (And I have a job coming up that calls for
it.) Plus the lighting for poor middle-aged eyes is generally better
if the piano is tilted.</FONT> <FONT size=3> After I do that, I'll be
installing a DC system, repinning the action and replacing the spring cords and
easing the too-tight balance holes.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>BUT, if you want to expound on your epoxy repair, please
do. And next time you do the repair, take pictures and write an
article about it! (Oops, there goes my Journal staff hat....)

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Barbara: What kind of repair are you doing? If it is a
split bridge with the bridge pins falling out, and you intend to do an epoxy
repair, there is no need to tilt. I have done this repair several times
on verticals without tilting. More forthcoming if you are
interested.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I need to do a little bit of bridge repair on this
piano and want to tilt it. I've never tilted an instrument with this
type of dolly. Do I prop the piano up on some 4x4s (or whatever)
first and then tilt? </FONT></DIV>
