Squeak in unacorda of S & S, B

[Roger Jolly]

---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment
Hi David,
                If you lift up at the front rail, the action will tip back 
a little, quite frequently that is just enough to ease the connection of 
frame, and the dag.     The Dag is there to keep the frame down at forte 
playing.   The frame and dag should be in contact but not enough to cause 
any binding.   It is important to make sure that friction at these contact 
points is kept to a minimum.

Regards Roger
