Just noticed recently that Yamaha has ceased using that bolt on it's =
most recent shipments of grands....maybe enough people were forgetting =
to turn them down and damaging the pinblock?

  When the piano is shipped from the factory the bolt is turned up snug =
against the pinblock to keep the action from flopping around in transit. =
The tech doing the dealer prep is supposed to turn it down enough so =
that it will clear the stretcher when the action is being removed. =
Leaving it this high will still help keep the action in place if/when it =
is moved.=20

  First visit to a C6 today (at last!  A very nice piano, after all =
those spinets!).  Checking the action, there's a bracket attached to the =
keyslip side of the hammer rail, right above the action bracket between =
sections two and three (about C5?).  It has an L-shaped profile, and a =
small bronze bolt projects vertically thru its upper horizontal surface.

  Is this just a shipping bolt that is raised up against the pinblock?  =
I lowered it just to prevent weird buzzes.
