yes, I do know where this is heading (unfortunately). They said they
bought it three years ago but I have not looked up the serial number—it does
seem a bit young for that problem. The piano wasn’t blocking
everywhere but there was enough of it that it made me think about it. The
customer did say that it had been a chronic problem. I didn’t
realize the pianos were made by YC. </span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Sans Serif"'>The Clines that I am aware
of are made by Young Chang. If you have followed the recent thread about
Young Chang action brackets, then you know where this is heading. They
have had problems with expanding action brackets which will cause the kind of
blocking you are describing. A tip from Allan Gilreath: don't make
temporary individual adjustments of the let off rail. Shim the whole rail
down with some balance rail punchings. That way you won't have to make so
many large adjustments when you put new brackets on. One thing that does
not quite add up though is the age of this Cline. I wonder if it wasn't
built some years earlier than you think.</span></font></p>
