<HTML>Thanks Terry and Phil. &n= bsp;I'll be doing quite a bit of regulating now that I've convinced the owne= r of one of my store accounts that the pianos actually work better if this i= s done...:-)  As long as it's solid, it's a pretty cheap way to save on= e's back.  I've got other Spurlock stuff made of the same materials, an= d it's all good quality and easy to use.
