Sorry about your thunder, Paul. (We had snow with thunder and lightening earlier this week. Man, it was weird.) I think there's value in learning regulation using a variety of approaches (OK, I stole that from Ed Sutton during a conversation tonight--I agree with him, and he always puts things so nicely.). :-) Personally, I like "Where's the jack", which always reminds me of the old Wendy's commercial, "Where's the beef?" (and the "Big fluffy bun..." which a friend and I laughed hilariously about one night as we were duped into driving an obscene number of miles to pick up a grand action for another technician and stopped at a really rotten restaurant for dinner. Well, if we had known it was rotten, we wouldn't have stopped). Oh, dear, it's late ... g'night.

You've stolen my dubious thunder. I've been using that phrase in classes now for three years. :-) Paul -----Original Message----- From: Barbara Richmond <piano57 at insightbb.com> To: ilvey at sbcglobal.net; Pianotech List <pianotech at ptg.org> Sent: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 8:09 pm Subject: Re: 37 steps---delayed response I think people don't realize that 37 steps (which, btw, I see more as chapter titles) is a way to become familiar with piano regulation functions and not an end unto itself. After becoming familiar enough with regulation, and how the action works, anyone can let the "piano tell them" what it needs.
