<HTML>Hi List, I know this topic has been dicsussed a fair amount at various times in t= his forum.  Yesterday, I went to tune a Weber WG50(about a 5' 7" grand = I believe) which was manufactured by Young Chang.  What I found was a p= iano so out of regulation as to be virtually unplayable.  Hammers were = blocking against the strings, and it took more than a full turn of the let-o= ff dowels to get any let-off at all.   I didn't get very far into it, because I'd only alotted time for a norma= l tuning appointment.  I did take off the top action to check for abnor= mal tightness in the keyframe, but it seemed to go in and out just fine. &nb= sp;But the amount the piano has gone out of regulation is of concern to me. =   Other factors:  The piano was in Pennsylvania before it came to a m= uch drier climate in CA, and before it got to its current location, it staye= d for some time(I think the owner mentioned over a year) in storage. What measurements can I take to determine if it is indeed swollen bracke= ts?  After checking a few sample notes, I've come to the conclusion tha= t the piano can be regulated, but I want to be sure it isn't something more = egregious before I spend many hours on the piano. Any input would be helpful!  Thanks in advance. Dave Stahl</HTML>
