<BR>Andre,
<BR>
<BR>This is my biggest fear....I've seen it before on pianos of this maker a=
nd vintage. Poorly thought out, poorly assembled, steps left undone--e=
specially if it was made on a Monday...:(--the key height seems outlandish, =
but it fits into the cabinet the way it's supposed to. There were a co=
uple of notes at the high end that had no punchings at all!
<BR>
<BR>I think Ric's right on one main point: it's gettin' near time to c=
all in the support troops on this one. I'll make one more visit, see i=
f I can figure it out, then bring in the reserve.
<BR>
<BR>Thanks for all the input. I'll let everyone know what's going on i=
f and when I get it solved.
