Which , I might add... is not nearly as difficult as its often made out to be. The guide normally pops right off with a good solid whack or two, after removing damper wires and relevant screws mind you. And is easily enough refitted a mm or whatever over. Using a damper wire bender, available at your nearest piano supply howse... a quick run through to bring all wires for the section moved in the appropriate direction after refitting and rough regulating goes quick enough. Unless you have an absolutely horribly abused set of damper wires... this all should take.. what... 4 hours at most for the bass section ? > > Ron N Cheers RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
