<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello listees,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am scheduled to install a set of new =
damper felts
on a 1960s Baldwin studio. I've done this work in my shop before, but am =
having
nightmares of hot glue pots knocked over on carpet, drips of hide glue =
running
down strings, etc., etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is the best systematic way of =
doing this in a
home. This 38 year-old Hamilton looks like it came off the =
Cincinnati
assembly line two days ago - much like the rest of her spotless living =
room.
Neatness is paramount! In fact, I'm not so sure now that it even matters =
if the
felts stay on - I just gotta keep it neat!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have the action in my shop now and =
will be going
back to her home to install the felts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Having done this job in my shop before, =
I hadn't
really given it much thought. But now that I am faced with Her, Her =
piano and
Her living room - and She will be peering right over my shoulder for the =
whole
job - I'm gettin' the Willies! I'm much more nervous thinking of this =
job that I
was building and installing my first soundboard!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
