This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Dean, Allowing the keys to dry for 224/48 h on the stack is yet easing the balance hole a lot, I've been made very cautious with the kind of firmness we get with the rebushing process, as fiber are just ready to crunch again. I also wait 24 hrs with the cauls in place (while I understand it is not always possible, and at last one night with the sizing cauls when available (not for all keyboards) A lot of cauls ordering may be in order but alas .... A good process I use for older keyboards, is the installation of thicker center pins (drill the balance rail prior to installation) thinner cloth and some problems possibly arise with the capsule, but the firmness of the balance is then appreciable. I think of a process to glue a sliver (sort of boat shaped) of wood in a notch cut with those U shaped chisels to close a too large balance hole without having to install wooden washers. The hole after that have to be filed with a rat file modified by grinding to be sure to file at the wanted place. Any other idea ? Regards.

This allows you to ease it back up to the perfect size when installing. I use the Yamaha capstan wrench: a very gradual taper that allows very uniform results." Dean, Shame shame! Try using the proper tool to "ease" the balance hole, (from the top down). It, too, is a Yamaha tool!<G> If you haven't seen one, I'll be glad to scan my version. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
