<font face="Arial">I did in fact have my electric drill with me,
with a set of abrasive drums. But the round rasp was quick and
easy. I also thought of bevelling the back of the rail as you
suggest, but my idea was to keep time, effort and cost to a
minimum.<br>

The upper V-bar was metal.<br>

<pre wrap="">David,
the notches in the overdamper rail is necessary, a lot, in my world.<G>
Another way would be a small sanding drum in a hand drill. I use a 3/4" one
with easy and good results. Either that or bevel the backside of the rail
with a hand plane.
The age of that piano would, most certainly, dictate A=435cps.! Since I
could not see the upper bridge/vee bar/nut, I'm hoping that it was not
wood. It is not advised to "lubricate" with petroleum products on wood top
nuts. It makes the wood spongy and difficult to get stable. DAMHIK!!!<G>
It does sound like the little piano is liking it's newfound attention. Good
luck and God Speed.
Also, Thanks for the many pictures, even tho some are a bit "dreary".<G>
(Almost bleak.) I suspect it's gorgeous when, (if ) the sun shines.<G>
Best,
Joe</pre>
