[pianotech] shift shim

[Paul T Williams]

Maybe a little of both....How crushed are the old leathers? I'm thinking 
in Hawaii, those cushions must be pretty much crushed up and crackly by 
now.  Try the pedal leather first, then the other.  Check for too far of 
drifting to hit the upper neighboring strings, or ?  Are the hammers 
aligned juuuuust right?  Put it on the Juuuuuust right-meter with full 
pedal press, and see how that works out too.  Or, pedal press depth....is 
it going too far down? look at the pedal lyre rod cushions at the pedal. 
They might be toast too. 

Is this the one you just fixed the lyre rods on too?  Make sure that 
wasn't a little too short, or little too long...  They all go together, my 
friend!

Best,
Paul

The shift on my S&S has about a 1/2" - 5/8" gap. Should I shim the action 
frame or add leather to the shift lever at the pedal rod?
