<WBR>Rex<br> <br> This is called a "pear" knuckle. If I recall, (I haven't done one of these for many years), the jack is aligned to the back edge of the "ledge". <br> <br> <div style="CLEAR: both">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT<br> Piano Tuner/Technician<br> Honolulu, HI<br> 808-349-2943<br> www.bleespiano.com<br> Author of <br> The Business of Piano Tuning<br> available from Potter Press<br> www.pianotuning.com</div> <br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: Rex Roseman <rosemanpiano@gmail.com><br> To: 'Pianotech List' <pianotech@ptg.org><br> Sent: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 2:58 pm<br> Subject: "non" Knuckle to Jack regulation<br> <br> <div id=AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0> <STYLE> #AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0 p.MsoNormal,#AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0 li.MsoNormal,#AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0 div.MsoNormal {margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";}#AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0 a:link,#AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0 span.MsoHyperlink {color:blue; text-decoration:underline;}#AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0 a:visited,#AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0 span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple; text-decoration:underline;}#AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0 p.MsoAutoSig,#AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0 li.MsoAutoSig,#AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0 div.MsoAutoSig {margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";}#AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0 span.EmailStyle17 {font-family:Arial; color:windowtext;}@#AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0 page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;}#AOLMsgPart_2_5fb3c0d3-da04-4add-ae69-3045e20335e0 div.Section1 {page:Section1;}</STYLE> <div class=Section1> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Dear list members.</SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> </SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I am working on a piano that has the knuckle build into the hammer shank. It consists of a ledge cut in the bottom of the shank which is then covered with leather. This replaces the standard knuckle. My problem is what to align the jack to as there is no center core as in a regular shank/knuckle arrangement. Any suggestions on how to handle this would be appreciated.</SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> </SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Thanks you.</SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> </SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoAutoSig><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Rex Roseman</SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </SPAN></FONT></div> </div> </div> <div id='u8CABCDE9E5770ED-BA0-1D82' 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>
