What is the process to remove an action from a 1958 Story and Clark spinet? Back story: I've been tuning in my shop every morning, preparing for the RPT exam. As a tuner, I'm not even close to part-time. But since I'm preparing for the exam, I've poked my head out the foxhole, and have been tuning a few pianos in the wild. This is how I discovered* spinet pianos! * For this piano, I discovered that a a treble string was broken. I thought I could be of service and replace the string. But since the bridge pins were hidden behind the action, it seemed that I would need to remove the action to do the repair. I loosened the nose bolt nuts. I tugged at the top of the action bracket, and nothing budged. At that point, I simply said to my self, "Fine! You didn't want to find out about removing a spinet action today anyway!" So I prudently let the sleeping dog lie. It seemed rather cowardly, but that's what I did. -- Duane McGuire 801-830-5858 http://blog.duanemcguire.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
