<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Yes, putting a little stress on
the keyframe. Actually it would be under a tensioning stress. I heard it first
from R.Jolly & David Andersen. Whatever it works.<br>

Nice idea. 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>

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>
