Well, I do use shims to get it closer to a real key-bed, and have learned to compensate accordingly so only fine-adjustments need to be done in the actual piano. I would just rather have a flatter bench. It's massively carved up, Maybe refinishing would allow me to level it out more....time constraints keep me using shims, tho. :>) pw Conrad Hoffsommer <hoffsoco at luther.edu> Sent by: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org 01/04/2008 10:23 AM Please respond to Pianotech List <pianotech at ptg.org> To Pianotech List <pianotech at ptg.org> cc Subject Re: cleaning action stack Paul T Williams wrote: > > Question: > > Are bowling alley lanes slightly "crowned"?

(like those adjustable Baldwin front rail ones) If your alley chunk really is crowned (convex) you then would be able to compensate for and duplicate any keybed. -- Conrad Hoffsommer - Keyboard Technician Luther College, 700 College Dr., Decorah, Iowa 52101-1045 1-(563)-387-1204 // Fax 1-(563)-387-1076 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
