HELP! Re simplex actions Sorry to Post this twice

[tonythetuner]

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your post.....I did do a bit of an archive search, but did it for
"simplex actions" so will try again following your suggestions.
Generally in Uk we find these little blighters turn up in odd places like
Challens, Chappells and other reasonable &not so reasonable makes...but
always in "Baby Grands" i.e. about 4 foot length, with short fat tubby
sounding bass strings.........but the public go crazy for a grand that will
actually fit in the house! And they find it easy to convince themselves of
the "sweet tone"...(false treble strings, not too loud in the bass).
So.......I'm endeavouring to do the best I can with them.........and the
pianos!
Thanks again
warm regards, Tony.
