<DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>List, <BR><BR>Today I =
was
prepping a brand new Vivace piano, made in China by Sejung. I =
regulated
and aligned the capstans, and was about to regulate the let-off when I =
noticed
something strange: the jack-stop rail is directly above he =
eyelets for
the regulating buttons. There is NO room to get the regulating =
tool in
there. IN order to access the eyelets, I'll have to bend the =
jack-stop
rail a fair amount. What were they thinking: that the =
let-off
would be set for life? <BR><BR>Any ideas? Is this a weird =
configuration or what? <BR><BR>Dave Stahl</FONT> </FONT></DIV>

<DIV> Yes, that's exactly what they were =
thinking.
It's amazing how many things in pianos are designed with the =
underlying
thought that "Our pianos are perfect; nobody'll ever need to adjust =
this or
get a tool in here ."</DIV>
<DIV> If the props for the jack stop rail turn =
easily, I
would turn it in far enough to be able to regulate let-off. If =
that
prevents the jacks from coming far enough away from the butts, then =
try
bending the rail up. Do you have the type of eye-screw regulator =
that
lets you turn the screws at an angle? Or are they the spade =
type?</DIV>
<DIV> It'd be a big hassle, but you could remove the =
jack
stop rail, regulate let-off, then put it back. </DIV>
