<HTML>List, After feeling pretty good about yesterday's final appointment, where I c= leaned the inside of a piano, under the strings, repinned about a dozen hamm= er flanges, replaced a string, and tuned it, all in around two and a half ho= urs, I was humbled today...it's hard to admit these things sometimes, and I = tell my fiance all about it, but she doesn't quite understand the frustratio= n level one can achieve on this type of thing. Please, someone, tell me I am not alone in disliking removing fallboards= of Acrosonic spinets of a certain age.  Instead of actually removing t= he clasps on the back of the fallboard that connects it to the guide bar, I = took the whole assembly out when I began the job 3 weeks ago.  3 weeks = later, with two freshly-topped keys in hand, I took a rather excessive amoun= t of time in figuring out how to get it back in correctly!   My memory isn't what it used to be...er, what was I talking abouut....?;= -) Dave Stahl </HTML>
