Since I recovered the keys</div> <div>(had a partial set anyway) I changed the square capstans for the pointed-tool</div> <div>type and made a special tool to adjust them more easily which hangs inside</div> <div>the piano. Definitely a labor of love but worth every second for experience...</div> <div>never again !</div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> <div><br> Regards,<br> <br> Jon Page</div> </body> </html>
