Tool Update

[Jon Page]

Elian,
All I can say is, is that guy is not too good if he can not find the 
benefit in that tool. he IS too much filled with himself.

I'm glad you like the tool, many techs here appreciate the portability
and ease of use. It took a long time to develop, maybe it will take a long
time for that guy to understand it.

Tunings can get to be a bore and being able to service the piano mechanically
is where the money is. You can tune and then comment how the action would
respond better if these certain adjustments were made.

Don't forget, if you raise the hammer line, strengthen the repetition springs
if needed. I don't know how much you are into regulation, but there are a few
adjustments which go hand in hand.

Another task for the TLRG which someone discovered:
With the string placed at the ends of the rods, the line can be used to
measure crown on the bottom of the sound board more easily.

Thanks,

Jon
