Hi Will
<p>Yes... this is the proceedure I've been using for nigh on 2o years now.
Ever Since Laroys first visit to Oslo. And as I have said, it generally
has worked well, but recently I have run into 3 instruments where this
was not enough.This proceedure left the keyframe bedded, with all glide
bolts in contact with the frame... but there was lots of lost power, and
lots of neighbor hammer bobbing on hard blows, And the only way to eliminate
these problems was to put way more pressure on glide bolts then this proceedure
results in.
<p>Cheers

If you can get a dealer to sponsor you it is well worth the time!</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Anyway, the Yamaha method for bedding
the key frame is simple and in my experience works every time: Remove the
stack so you can also remove the keys. Tighten all screws in the bed, replace
the stack (to "weight" the frame), and put the frame back in the piano.
Now set the glide bolts as you normally would. Remove the stack, replace
the keys and Voila! the perfect key bedding. After bedding this way, then
you set the key height (also done with the action in the piano and the
stack on - very slick). Finally the dip is set later in the process when
it can be done on each key individually taking into account the proper
distance as well as the correct or desired feel of the aftertouch.</font></font>
