<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Hello Roy,
<BR>
<BR> This is standard on most K&B grands. This
<BR>bolt/screw is made to fit a tuning hammer. The
<BR>action does not shift, instead the hammer line raises
<BR>when the soft pedal is engaged. You will find also that
<BR>these actions looks different from most. Don't let this
<BR>scare you.
<BR> It is my guess that this bolt/screw was an attempt
<BR>to discourage people from repairing their own pianos.
<BR>
<BR> Old piano guy!
