Why, then, do we test an upright model with 3 notes, and pedals, but the grand model with only one note, no pedals etc.. I've always been mystified by that. Most of the time in the "real" world, we are hired to work on grands, so why not 3 note models for the grands?? Give me some justification for this National! Maybe they should be reversed or have both regulations with 3 notes.

Not a real life situation! Correct?

Looking forward to your future comments, MS ***************************** Michael, If the dampers are out, I always align the hammer and rough fit them to the strings before I install the dampers. Makes it a lot easier to see and line up. I don't see anything about traveling and burning the hammers in your procedure. There are other changes I would make, but I just took a lunch break and I'm right in the middle of regulating an action. I'll look it over later tonight.
