Easy visual.  My kind of tehnique. Jon You probably of experienced this alreay. Stressing the keyframe a bit more also improves the sound. I've heard it dramtically on many pianos. It has to do with coulping the keyframe more intensely to the bed. <br>  <br>   Dale<br> <br> </div> <div> <div class=MsoNormal style="BACKGROUND: white"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">Let's try something different, a piano related topic: <br>  <br> An easy way to set the glide bolts is with a caliper. <br>  <br> With the glide bolts off the keybed, measure a key <br> height in front of the bolt. Reset the caliper to .015" <br> to .020" higher and turn the bolt until the key touches <br> the caliper. Plus .010" at the ends is sufficient. <br>  <br> Apply slight upwards lift at the stack to see if the <br> glide bolt still knocks and tweak as needed. <br> This is an easy way to apply even pressure across. <br>  <br> Longer keys would necessitate a wider gap <br> measured with the caliper. <br> --  <br> Regards, <br>  <br> Jon Page </SPAN></div> </div> <div id=u8CAAE5446222D90-17F8-6D9B> <div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-TOP: 7.5pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align=center><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> <HR align=center width="100%" SIZE=2> </SPAN></div> <div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-TOP: 7.5pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The Famous, the infamous, the lame - in your browser. <A title=http://toolbar.aol.com/tmz/download.html?NCID=aolcmp00050000000014 href="http://toolbar.aol.com/tmz/download.html?NCID=aolcmp00050000000014" target=_blank>Get the TMZ Toolbar Now</A>!</SPAN> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id=u8CAAE7800412E24-820-32A0> <div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-TOP: 7.5pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align=center><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> <HR align=center width="100%" SIZE=2> </SPAN></div> <div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-TOP: 7.5pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The Famous, the infamous, the lame - in your browser. <A title=http://toolbar.aol.com/tmz/download.html?NCID=aolcmp00050000000014 href="http://toolbar.aol.com/tmz/download.html?NCID=aolcmp00050000000014" target=_blank>Get the TMZ Toolbar Now</A>!</SPAN> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id='u8CAAE8EBB41E5F8-1D8C-F8A' class='aol_ad_footer'><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">The Famous, the infamous, the lame - in your browser. <A title="http://toolbar.aol.com/tmz/download.html?NCID=aolcmp00050000000014" href="http://toolbar.aol.com/tmz/download.html?NCID=aolcmp00050000000014" target="_blank">Get the TMZ Toolbar Now</A>!</FONT> </div>
