David said: "Indeed Joe, I wondered about that too! There is simply no easy way to adjust the let-off button. The use of the pliers with the "cupped" tip for gripping capstans would be tricky, as they are quite long and it would be difficult to get them in at the right angle. I must say though, that although it is so similar to the D-Type Spring and Loop action, it felt better to play, than any D-Type I've dealt with. I encounter the D-Type with reasonable frequency as they were popular in cheaper small grands made in the UK. Best regards, David. > Hmmm?

It looks like it would just drop down on the first stroke. Does it have a cord or some such to keep it in position? Best, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain of the Tool Police Squares R I
