Please bring me up to speed on the seasonal affectation with Steinway key-blocks. This is the first winter I've experienced the clatter of the key-frame pins within the guides. I assume this happens when the (crowned) key-frame relaxes (sp?) (summon the spelling-check police) due to dryness. I'm not sure what was meant by the cardboard shims, are we placing these beneath the ends of the key-frame. I'm really wishing I could adjust the key-block inserts down (seasonally) to take up the gap. Thanks for any clarity you can provide. BTW, the soundboard seminar by all accounts was a tremendous success. A capacity crowd (40 technicians) witnessed the fitting of a soundboard and bridges, bearing set, notching and pinning, and attended a fine recital and reception. Thanks to all who helped and attended, with sincerest admiration for Andre and Christian Bolduc. The skills these fellows poscess are tripled in value by their willingness to share!
