I'm carefully working my way thru a Kimball Player baby grand, getting one
problem solved at a time, and praying that I don't have to get into the stack.

So far I've replaced tracker tubing which tightened up the stack a lot.  Now
I'm after the notes which are not repeating well.

Assumption #1: Bleeds on these notes may be dirty.

Assumption #2:Reblitz is correct when he says I'll find the bleeds behind
the brass screws (with disintegrating washers) that I see along the stack.

Assumption #3:Even though the construction of my (grand) stack doesn't
appear to match the diagram Reblitz provides of a Kimball stack, I could
clean the bleed by gently inserting thin wire thru hole after removing screw.

Assumption #4:I won't puncture something when doing #3 above, as screws were
provided to allow access to bleeds for cleaning.  Diagram Reblitz provides
shows a large empty chamber beyond the bleed, that your cleaning wire would
extend into.

Comments on my (naive) assumptions? ? ?

I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with a Kimbal grand stack.

In general, things are going well.  My kids love having the player going.
Now, when I get home, I don't hear as many 'support' requests related to
which game isn't playing well on the computer , and more comments on which
note isn't sounding well on the piano.¶
