This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I'm right in the first stages of making an action for a Chickering, = Parallel Strung, 8 footer, 1860's. The piano has a Del Fandrich = soundboard, my scale, highly modified back action, (Clemson/Garrett). = I'm using, mostly, Renner parts. I'd like to know some average specs. If any of y'all can help, I'd = appreciate it. Years ago, I did a few Clemson Actions and there were = some set specs that were available, but I've lost that info somewhere in = my "archives"!<G> Need to know the following: 1. Hammer Flange Center = Pin to Hammer Moulding center. 2. How to calculate what Hammer Bore = Needed w/string height given and basic Action height given. (I have seen = several "methods" for calculating this and each has it's reasons and one = doesn't work for the other, so to speak.) 3. Typical Action "spread" = for renner actions, (I'm using the new adjustable "butterfly" spring = type wippen and Standard Renner Shanks, Rails, Brackets, etc..) Because this is a Chickering, the fitting is really close and = unforgiving! At the moment, I'm making "Action models" for the bass and the treble = ends, so that I can play with the configurations a bit. Oh, BTW, I had a new Key Set made, (with modified Original key frame), = by Rick Wheeler, Roseland Piano. He gave me most of, what he calculated = to be "useable" on this piano, but some of it just isn't working to my = satisfaction. Any/All ideas will be greatly appreciated! BTW, you may have noticed I used the term "Parallel Strung", as opposed = to "Straight Strung" The reason for that is, I'm finding NOTHING is = STRAIGHT on this piano!<G> Yikes!<G> Best Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
