4 – We installed two bolts to pull the pinblock and the plate down to the frame.

5 – We reshaped the hammers, tightened screws, and replaced broken action parts. Then we corrected all regulation adjustments--hammer blow distance, letoff, keyheight and levelling, keydip, and dampers. We tuned the piano.
