Small movements are easy if you turn the coil<= /DIV> <DIV>as you move it. It's been a while, but I don't recall any particular= </DIV> <DIV>problems with heat changing pitch. Maybe Avery has hotter phalanges<= /DIV> <DIV>than I do, or I wasn't that picky then.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ron N</DIV> <DIV>_______________________________________________</DIV> <DIV>pianotech list info: <A href="http://www.ptg.org/mailman/listinfo/= pianotech">https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></TD></TR> <TR> <TD id=INCREDIFOOTER width="100%"> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"> <TBODY> <TR> <TD width="100%"></TD> <TD id=INCREDISOUND vAlign=bottom align=middle></TD> <TD id=INCREDIANIM vAlign=bottom align=middle></TD></TR></TBODY></T= ABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></BODY></HTML>
