Stability concerns

[Don]

Hi Jim,

I was speaking of tapping the coils--actually *lift* tapping would be most
correct as I have a nice tool which works on an impact basis. Mike Swendsen
for anyone who wants one.

The purpose of the discussion not to blast any particular make or type of
piano. It is an ongoing concern aobut what to do for the *best* bang for the
buck, and also the *order* in which to do various items...a la chicken/egg!
