Greetings,

                      I am working on my old upright, whom I call "Becky" 
she's all apart hammer/butts and sticker type wippens; all out for new leather, 
felts etc.(not new hammers, though)

                      My experiment is that I am putting the action back in 
the piano without it's wippen/stickers and I am going to travel and square the 
hammers, FIRST, one, by one, as I put them back in, before the wippen 
mechanisms go in. Then I am going to take the action back out and put in the wippens.

                I figure the hammers will be squared and travelled much 
easier this way,  as opposed to putting everything back on the action  THEN, having 
to take certain hammers/butt out, in order to do travel & squaring and having 
to work with the wippens' jacks and stuff in the way. I think its a good 
idea. Could there be something wrong with this? Is there something I didn't think 
of?
