I guess what you would need to do is start at the strike line across all = the strings and work out to the keyfront from there.

Perhaps if your = plate and action cavity are similar, I might be able to help you with some measurements off my Knabe?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry Farrell</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>----- Original Message ----- </FONT> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From: "David Love" <</FONT><A href="mailto:davidlovepianos@earthlink.net"><FONT face=Arial size=2>davidlovepianos@earthlink.net</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial size=2>></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To: "Pianotech" <</FONT><A href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org"><FONT face=Arial size=2>pianotech@ptg.org</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial = size=2>></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 8:04 = PM</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Subject: Creating an action from scratch</FONT></DIV></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT = face=Arial size=2>> I'm entertaining the possibility of creating an action = from scratch for a<BR>> 1909 Knabe--a technician seems to have disappeared with = the action a few<BR>> years ago and has not been heard from since.  I'm = trying to get an idea how<BR>> to begin going about this.  At first = thought it seems like a rather<BR>> daunting task.  Any suggestions, = including readings, would be appreciated.  <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> David Love<BR>> </FONT><A = href="mailto:davidlovepianos@earthlink.net"><FONT face=Arial size=2>davidlovepianos@earthlink.net</FONT></A><BR><FONT = face=Arial size=2>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> pianotech list = info: </FONT><A href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives"><FONT = face=Arial size=2>https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</FONT></A><BR><FON= T face=Arial size=2>> </FONT></BODY></HTML>
