No droppings evident or anything that looks out of  place. Yamaha told me that key height on the model is 59mm to underside of keytop.</P> <P>Some keys are at 59mm others around 64mm. I'll be checking balance holes one more time before I start leveling though.</P> <P> </P> <P>Rick Ucci/Ucci Piano  <BR></P> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">-------------- Original message from "Joe And Penny Goss" <IMATUNR@SRVINET.COM>: -------------- <BR> <STYLE type=text/css>P { MARGIN: 0px } </STYLE> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1458" name=GENERATOR> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Check to see if there has been a mouse in the piano, either eating or making a nest with the balance rail punchings.</FONT></DIV> <DIV>Joe Goss RPT<BR>Mother Goose Tools<BR><A href="mailto:imatunr@srvinet.com">imatunr@srvinet.com</A><BR><A href="http://www.mothergoosetools.com/">www.mothergoosetools.com</A></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=richard.ucci@att.net href="mailto:richard.ucci@att.net">richard.ucci@att.net</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Saturday, October 09, 2004 7:21 AM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> yamah m-450</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <P>Greetings list,</P> <P> </P> <P>Just went to tune a m-450, first after delivery tuning. Piano has been in the home about two months. exposed to high humidity at times and now dropping humidity(north east part of usa).</P> <P> </P> <P>Keys look like 40 miles of bad road! Up and down all the way from 1-88. Key height measured 64mm at #1 to 59mm on others.</P> <P> </P> <P>I've schedualed a leveling for next week, has anyone got any insight or experience with this ? This is most unusual for me to see this on a new Yammy. In fact I've never seen it.</P> <P> </P> <P>Thanks,</P> <P> </P> <P>Rick Ucci/Ucci Piano</P></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>  </body> </html>
