<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'> <div>Thanks, Greg.  I saw those screws, but in order to get to them (They were very tight and the bridge was in the way), I had to take off the two side panels. Which wasn't hard, but just another piece of the puzzle.</div> <div> </div> <div>Wim</div> <div></div> <div style="clear: both;"> <div> </div> </div> <div></div> <div></div> <div style="color: black; font-family: arial,helvetica; font-size: 10pt;">-----Original Message-----<br> From: Greg Newell <gnewell@ameritech.net><br> To: pianotech <pianotech@ptg.org><br> Sent: Tue, Sep 25, 2012 11:17 am<br> Subject: Re: [pianotech] restringing 1098<br> <br> <div id="AOLMsgPart_1_c858febc-a552-404b-ab2a-3bf9af99cb83"> <div class="WordSection1"> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Screws are deep inside holding a block to the side wall.
