Regulating Autopiano Stack to Piano Action
By Kevin Pfeiffer

Hi from Berlin,  John Tuttle's video "Regulating the Stack to the
Piano Action",  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8bAVPeiokE
Attachment thumbnail shows the relatively simple process of adjusting the capstan to eliminate lost motion between player and piano key mechanisms. But in my case (Autopiano) everything is hidden behind the stack. To do what he is doing in the video would (as far as I know) require a "window" in the soundboard. I recently ran the QRS test roll and noticed that there are a half dozen notes with too much play (you hear the repetitions striking, but with insufficient response from the hammers). So, how do I do this? Note the keys, pull the stack, take my best guess, replace stack, run test roll and repeat as necessary? Many thanks in advance for your advice and tips.
