<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tom - Don't take any notice of these =
comments. If
you want to know anything, even though it's documented in the Archives, =
it is
far quicker and more expedient to ask. Those in the know can always =
"direct your
paths"....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Glad to help.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Went back to Glyndebourne to check out =
that Katz
upright on Rehearsal Stage 2 and found it had held up well (in =
spite of my
"Quadrantisationing":-) The pianist was delighted :-) - he and the
Assistant Conductor had spent some time in playing piano duets =
yesterday
(Yamaha C-6/ Katz upright!) - so I fine tuned it then tightened up all =
those
wretched Butt-plate screws, aligned the hammers and tightened the Butt
screws and regulated the touch (was horrid!) "We're just about to =
start -
how long will you be?" Only five more of these pesky little things to =
tighten!
OK. Back tomorrow to regulate the Set-offs. Maybe I should take my mini
soldering iron with me - just in case... By the way, the hammers on this =
Katz
are so soft we've left off the knee-board and the front panel so the =
sound can
flood out. Maybe I should have a quick go with some Hammer Hardening
Agent?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By the way I call it my "Quadrant =
System" because
it works it successive blocks of four notes. I believe there was a =
heated debate
about some Pure 12 tuning system on the List a little while back?.. In =
the true
essence of that correspondence maybe I should take out a Patent on my =
"Quadrant
System" - Non? :-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards froma windy, sunny and =
beautiful day in the
Sussex Downs</FONT></DIV>
