<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Hi list, =
<BR>I went to
a Youg Chang today,about 10 years old,for a tuning.I tuned it once =
about 3 or
4 years ago.I got there and every hammer was blocking,I'm not talking =
about
buzzing,but major blocking.I did'nt have enough time to get into it as =
I had
an appointment conflict.So I'm going back tomorrow to fix this ,pitch =
raise
,clean,and tune.(it's a grand with a piano-disc system).I checked to =
see if
any rails were loose,or might have shifted,is there anything I should =
look
for,maybe with the player system?I changed letoff on a few notes,and =
it quit
blocking,but I sure had to twist them a mile,it has the dowel type.It =
also has
excessive keydip.I guess I should go through one note and completely
regulate,I am just checking to see if there's something =
obvious,maybe
I've overlooked. <BR>Thanks in advance, <BR>Hazen Bannister</FONT>
