It requires a flat stic= k like the ones that come in the Renner shank boxes or something like it. Wi= th a square simply mark a multitude of lines the length of the stick.</FONT>= </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>  Next with the action stack sitting on a flat clea= n surface we use a square to travel the shanks on the end of each section so= they're dead accurate. Then clip the stick -o- lines to the end shanks with= clothes pins. Now as you lift up and down the shanks that travel are easily= seen moving in reference to the lines. It's a slick trick & easy to see= especially for those of us with bifocal.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>   Prior to this we just used a square on each= shank which made it tedious & eye straining.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>  Any residual traveling will show up as = a minor movement after the hammers are hung & can be easily corrected. Y= ou can also be sure that you didn't successfully travel all the hammers goin= g in the same direction i.e. left -right</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>  Happy traveling</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>    Dale</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT lang=0 face=Arial size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10"= >Erwins Pianos Restorations <BR>4721 Parker Rd.<BR>Modesto, Ca 95357<BR>209-= 577-8397<BR>Rebuilt Steinway , Mason &Hamlin Sales<BR>www.Erwinspiano.co= m</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
