> I just went ahead and did a wire bending job. > Hopefully, it won't come back to bite me. :-) Oh boy, so do I. two thoughts, I think we can assume the piano was set up well when it arrive at your location. Yamaha usually does not make such mistakes. I have confidence in their work. It is unlikely another technician did not do this piano such a disservice. So, something went up the stack, but what? It is not possible to determine if all the hooks are in the same plain without removing the rod and laying it across a real straight surface like the top of the piano and looking for a gap between the two. It may well be too late now but you will also have to adjust the spoons. I do hope all works out well. Newton
