    new customer, Fandrich vertical # 440044, water damaged 6 years ago. Bass bridge split h, but immediate problem is burbling hammers, action doesn't Cycle through ​let off to back checking. Plus I forget how to adjust its special jack spring. Will try shimming key rail to get enough dip for XMas carols.

    Darrell wrote an updated regulation procedure for this action several years ago. You can find it here: file:

    Del, when I try to go to that address I get a Suzuki skydrive owners manual, complete with parts list.

    Somehow, that doesn't seem quite right ...

    I just made a copy of the manual that came with piano # ...55.  I can send you that if Del isn't able to come up with a valid link to the revised one.

    Might try looking at Darrell's website fandrichpiano, also.

    What a dynamite piano!!​
