<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Hello list,
<BR>
<BR>Just got through tuning a 200 cm Bechstein grand built in 1891. Al=
l in all, it was a pretty sweet sounding piano. Except for the action.=
It's a viennese type action, and it's noisy. I guess that's the=
nature of the beast.
<BR>
<BR>I am curious if anyone can point me to information regarding the regulat=
ion of these actions. The capstan arrangement seems unnecessarily comp=
lex. And how does one align the jack to the knuckle? Didn't have=
time to mess around with it, but I'm very curious about this piano. A=
nd has anyone come up with a way to quiet the actions a bit?
<BR>
<BR>Thanks in advance,
<BR>
