[pianotech] Al in N.C.--Question on procedure was- Best way tochange touch in Yamaha grand

[Al Guecia/AlliedPianoCraft]

Julia, yes the key is upside down with the back-check in front of you and the covered key away from you. I square up the front of the key and I cut down toward the front of the key.

If that's not clear, let me know and I will cut one and take a photo. I don't know how to add a drawing.

  Greetings,

        In a thread in early January on 'Changing touch in a Yamaha grand' you state:

  >using a sharp chisel cut the punching at an angle toward the front of the key (\) not straight down (I). You >can start in the center of the hole or the front of the hole. 

      Just for clarity, on the orientation of the slope of the cut:
    
       When the key is returned back to the frame, does that punching cut end up sloped from the top of the punching down towards the front of the key or from the bottom up towards the front of the key? The reason I ask in this way, is that if I am cutting a punching I am likely holding the key upside down to do the cut and I am not sure if your directions are as one holds the key to make the cut, or if you have in mind how it ends up oriented in the key frame .

      

  Thanks,
  Julia Gottshall
