For = clarification it’s just the damper heads that are used.       =       I use three damper heads one each in the middle of each section to hold = the rail down onto the tops of the fingers.(I use the top three on the piano or = bring three extras from the shop) Then a few heavy rubber bands around the = ends of the rail and over the ends of the hammer rest rail. I usually take the = keys out also as on some of these models the front of the fingers will hang up on = the back of the keys. Also disconnect the pedal rods as they will usually = come out with the action and possibly bind on an action post or = something.       =       Really an easy action to remove (For a drop action anyway.)       =       Tom Driscoll       =             =       P.S. Its no fun when the rail comes off the fingers—DAMHIK = -- </div> </body> </html>
