Dear sirs, I have posted the following question to rec.music.makers.piano but have had no reply. Please e-mail me if someone knows this. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The other day, while I was netsurfing, I happend to find a page by Japanese Piano technician. He has been rebuilding Steinways for years but obviously looking for a correct adjustment method for "glocken", the peculiar shaped brass part supporting the bell or the plate nosebolt in the treble area, which is attached to the rim. He once visited Hamburg factory and asked a craftsman there but he says his answer was not quite clear. He assumes adujustment is necessary before and after stringing, but doesn't exactly know what torque to apply to the screw/bolt. Another question is about a wooden bar (1/4in thick) placed inside the corner of the rim near the glocken just under the soundboard, of which shape is almost the same as the soundboard ribs. What is the purpose of this part? yoshi@kobe.hp.com
