You guys are giving = me palpatations with your ideas about Square Grands! Please!? Do not change those screws that hold the action in. The= y are mated so that the action is "locked" into it's proper position! If y= ou change the screws, the likelihood is you will change the action alignmen= t in the cavity. As the action alignment is extremely critical on these pianos!!!!! </BLOCKQUOTE> Joe, That's what I was pointing out.  The actions don't lock into the co= rrect position as easily as modern grands.  When I removed the one that= I worked on, I didn't realize this, but when I go back, I'll make tiny alig= nment markings so that it won't be a problem in the future.   Thanks for being such a good resource for the instruments, Dave Stahl If you don't know how to do something on them, PLEASE feel free <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px so= lid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">to call me/writ= e me/email me, whatever. I will be more than willing to help you! One of the main problems with square grands, is people, in the past= , who didn't have a clue, worked on them!! I don't even want to get into t= he "horror stories". As many of you may know, I've spent a lot of time and effort learning the proper approach/methods for Square Grands. I am more than willing to share my knowlege. My motivation is basically to preserv= e, as best I/we can this historical part of the evolution of the piano. No,= it ain't a Grotrian 9'! It wasn't meant to be like a "modern" piano. (perio= d!) It is what it is. Service it correctly or leave it alone, thank you. &lt= ;G> </BLOCKQUOTE> </HTML>
