<body>In regulating and voicing the grand, I have always inserted the cheek blocks every time I slide the action into place because that's what I've always read, seen, and heard to do.<br/><br/>Working today on the heaviest darned action I've ever hefted (Hyundai 6-footer)—if the action isn't in the exact spot required, it's very hard to tap either side into place or move it with cheek block, so I marked the front and side of the bed to line up the action each time.<br/><br/>Got to wondering, would spotting the action on preset marks be enough for many regulation and voicing tasks, without installing the cheek blocks? Or does that invite trouble?<br/><br/>Alan Barnard<br/>Salem, MO<br/></body>
