Getting the underlever out isn't a problem. To get it back in, first, using an old-fashioned long L-shaped spring tool, seat the spring on a _neighboring_ underlever so that the spring is out of the way. Put in the underlever and its screw, then, taking a deep breath and using a Bend-A-Light type flashlight to light the interior of the action, carefully move the underlever spring back into place, still using that old-fashioned long spring tool to reach from the opposite side _over_ the underlever being replaced to retrieve the spring on the underlever on the other side. Reward yourself when complete. You did good. Kent On Nov 26, 2009, at 2:04 PM, Zeno Wood wrote: > Does anyone have a good method for replacing a spring-assisted underlever? Sometimes you have to take out one underlever, and I've found getting it back in with the spring in the right position to be pretty difficult. > > Regards, > Zeno Wood > > > > <<<I am a BIG fan of springs on underlevers, and disagree totally with Steinway's line of not needing springs on underlevers, and that it is part of the Steinway sound. >>> > > Debbie Cyr > Registered Piano Technician > 508-202-2862 cell > > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
