<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Hi Roger,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Thank you.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I was kind of thinking along those lines, but was
under a time constraint, due to the concert.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>As I suspected, my 'fix', was just a quick fix,
and not the proper one.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>It remains to be seen, if they want me back to
investigate further. If my fix worked through the concert, they will probably
leave as is.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I will have to find out, if a tech has checked it
out since it's delivery.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>We had a Steinway dealer in Halifax, until
recently, but he closed up shop and went back to Toronto. I think his
tuner/tech. is still in the Province.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Sorry you won't be at MARC next month, and I won't
be at Kansas City, so we won't meet for 'a wee dram', together. Oh well, maybe
next year.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Best,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

too tight under the Dags. Lightly sand the frame with very fine grit
sand paper. Graphite the frame contact area. Burnish the
graphite until it shines.<BR><BR>Regards Roger.<BR><BR>Have a wee dram for me.

<BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite"><FONT face=arial size=3><B>Hi
List,<BR>I was wondering if any of you have run/ran into this problem.<BR>It
was a S & S model B, less than 6 months old. It is the first time I have
seen it, and I got a call yesterday afternoon, wondering if I would have a
look at a squeak problem, before a concert this afternoon.<BR>So I went this
morning, (extra charge of course).<BR>I thought it would be an easy fix.
But, noooooo.<BR>I checked all the obvious places, regraphiting any worn
areas, tefloned and MPL'd appropriate spots.<BR>Still there.<BR>Tried
pushing shift lever by hand, still there.<BR>Not the spring on the right
side, that bears on the action.<BR>Tried moving the action toward me, a
smidgen, no squeak.<BR>Couldn't find anything wrong at the dags.<BR>Then I
tried lifting the action at the right side just a smidgeon, gone again.<BR>I
turned the glide bolt back 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn, most of it gone, but still
some at the other end, but very slight, turned left glide bolt up less than
1/8 turn.<BR>Squeak gone.<BR>Not enough time before concert to get into it
more fully.<BR>Have any of you ran into this causing a squeak?<BR>Is there a
proper fix, that I should go back and do?<BR>Thank you.<BR>John M.
