[pianotech] pianotech Digest, Vol 50, Issue 94

I did in fact have my electric drill with me, with a set of abrasive 
drums. But the round rasp was quick and easy. I also thought of 
bevelling the back of the rail as you suggest, but my idea was to keep 
time, effort and cost to a minimum.

The upper V-bar was metal.

For sunnier pics I took en route to this client in November, see my

entry "client in Argyll".  Or you can access via my website at

Best regards,

David.
