lost motion
in any piano I have always wanted a nut driver like tool that you =
could fit
over the top of capstans (with the action out of the piano) =
and
turn them how ever much you think is needed. With all the =
capstans
exposed just go from key to key with more or less the same amount of
turn. Then finish with the action back in with the =
standard
tool hopefully needing 1/8 turn or less. Such a tool =
would be
worth 30 bucks to me. Maybe something like those hammer =
shank
reducing tools that have four jaws with a bolt that makes them =
narrower or
wider but modified so they wouldn't scar the brass =
edges.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
