<DIV>Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I spent a few hours cleaning, lining up parts, scoping out the way the
action functions and re-tuning this Erard today. The regulation is in
pretty sorry shape. I plan to go back in 3 weeks to get at least a rou=
gh
regulation into it. There's a website somewhere that shows all kinds o=
f
wippens that I've lost the URL to. Does anyone remember where that mig=
ht
be?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am curious if anyone on this list has detached the keys from the
capstan/wippen assembly on these. I suspect that there is a slot for o=
ne
or both pins to slide in and out of like on a spinet elbow, but I didn't wan=
t to
force anything before I have a clue.
<DIV>Any tips at all would be extremely helpful. Est-ce que les Franca=
is
ici peuvent m'aider? Quentin, Stephane?</DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lots of interesting things on this piano. Leather key bushings fo=
r
the balance rail (didn't see the front rail). The one thing I didn't
photograph was how the checks come right up through a long slot in the hamme=
r
shank.
