Piano is family heirloom. It stays. She plays well. Son is professional pianist. Family reunion in three weeks. She wants it regulated, so I do need to get the letoff rail functioning. Otherwise, I agree that your approach has merit. Terry Farrell </BLOCKQUOTE> This is going back to other situations we have discussed here. She plays well and the son's a professional. Yet they want an old, worn out, rusty piano to function like a new one. Somewhere along the line we need to convince people that there is a life expectancy on piano, or at least, as in this case, a piano that is not worth the trouble or effort to make it play like a new(er) one. I'm saying the piano needs to be junked, especially since it's an heirloom. But if they want a piano that is going to give them the action and tone they desire and deserve, they should look at getting one that will satisfy their abilities. Wim </HTML>
