When you leveled in the piano did you put the end blocks in and screw them down?  Did you check the whippen rail for level? <p>Farrell wrote: <blockquote TYPE=CITE><style></style> <font size=-1>"The first thing you need to do is level the key frame on the keybed.

I did level keys (I even did a few with the frame in the keybed to see if it changed anything - it didn't). But when I install the stack to regulate, all of a sudden the key leveling is way out of whack! My stack is bending the rear of the keybed upward in the middle. I am in the midst of making appropriate shims so that stack installation does not stress the flatness of the keyframe, and installing additional rear keyframe hold-downs to work against the warped keyframe. "Nothing a new piano wouldn't solve!" Terry Farrell <span id=__#Ath#SignaturePos__></span> <blockquote style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message -----</div> <div style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:Wimblees@AOL.COM" title="Wimblees@AOL.COM">Wimblees@AOL.COM</a></div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial"><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org" title="pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</a></div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial"><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, June 26, 2001 6:24 PM</div> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial"><b>Subject:</b> Re: Warped Action Parts</div>  <font face="arial,helvetica"><font size=-1>Terry</font></font> <p><font face="arial,helvetica"><font size=-1>Earlier there was a discussion of bench regulation.
