Hello Glenn. Would you be willing to post a description of the air =
actuator again. I don't recall seeing any such thing (I've caught a few =
legitimate emails that were filtered out by my spam filter - I've even =
seen a few of my own get filtered out!). I would sure appreciate any =
such info. Always looking for a way to minimize damage to a soundboard =
during removal.

Terry Farrell

this belly rail comment reminded me that the last board I "air-popped" =
out (and really I am not a bigtime piano a month guy), anyway the last =

but the actuator hose slipped right in the inch and one quarter or so =
space after I slimmed down the end plate/bolt closure. Little or no =
problem, the next board I do I intend to put actuators all around. Added =
bonus is they store flat in a drawer (as a smalltime piano guy I have a =
tiny shop also).
