Here are a few things I remember from the class: He started with the music rack tightening the screws and checking the hinges. Teflon powder and on the keybed dowels burnishing them with 280 grit sandpaper. Vaseline and Teflon mixture for pedal rods. Screwdriver ground down to fit action screws perfectly. Uses a post-it note between case and cheekblock so it does not scratch when taken in and out. Regards, Jack Houweling Thanks Ted for the grit series correction--I had a feeling I'd missed something..... You might remember that he also said he never lubes balance rail pins after cleaning--doesn't want any residues in the balance rail hole. He does lube front rail pins though. Nice job of describing his piano-top hammer line, let off and drop adjustment technique....I almost forgot about the key slip on top of the flanges. Speak up if you remember anything else.
