It will refr= esh my mind about how it is built. All I know is that the shop teacher at= the school I teach at and I made the two action parts I could not b= uy anywhere I know of. The damper wire fits right into the back of t= he lever, so we had to hollow it out so that I could reassemble it back o= nto the piano. I will keep you inform on more specific as I work on = the pinao.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Wayne<IMG src="cid:1A5F28BD-0EB1-4CB1-8745-6FD81803BE1D" INCREDIIM= AGEEXTENSIONS="" INCREDIIMAGEATTRIBS=""></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV id=IncrediOriginalMessage><I>-------Original Message-------</I></D= IV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV id=receivestrings> <DIV dir=ltr style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" <i><B>From:</B></I> <A href="m= ailto:tune4u@earthlink.net">tune4u@earthlink.net</A>; <A href="mailto:p= ianotech@ptg.org">Pianotech</A></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" <i><B>Date:</B></I> 07/11/05 19:= 53:21</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" <i><B>To:</B></I> <A href="mai= lto:pianotech@ptg.org">Pianotech</A></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" <i><B>Subject:</B></I> Re: Krani= ch and Bach Upright</DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2>Does the action have an additi= onal rail with flanges attached to the end of each key by a piece of thin= red action cloth? If so, the top part of the action lifts right off that= . then you have to slide the "extra" rail forward to unlock it from the= action supports on either end. If you need to actually remove that rail = and flanges, or get the keys out, you need to loosen the small brass scre= w at the end of each key JUST A LITTLE and slip the connecting actio= n cloth out from under the little brass flange thingy that's holding it. = And you have to do that 88 times. Putting it back is just the opposite. I= suppose one could remove all the keys and the rail as one assembly but p= utting it all back is nightmarish. It's just a fussy little extra set of = steps to unhook them and rehook them later, but it really doesn't take to= o long.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2>I can't visualize what you're = saying about the dampers.
