@@naokookadahill5639 I have ground the two-prong tool in the past which was sold by Pianotek so it will fit Bostons. Currently I just use needle nose pliers to turn those.
That rail is called the damper Up-stop rail and it's function is to keep the damper under levers from going up too high like they were. It should be set so that after the key lifts the damper off the strings there should be a small amount of free play in the dampers before the underlevers hit this rail which is where I am setting it. There shouldn't be any problems with the dampers lifting off the strings with this. On these pianos, the rail has come out of adjustment and needs to be readjusted to the proper place. It won't create any problems as long as you have about a millimeter of free play in the damper after the sharps have been depressed firmly. So, we're not limiting the height of the dampers off the strings.
Apparently this design doesn't have one there is a spring for the pedal down below and the weight of the aluminum tray and the way it's mounted probably doesn't require a spring up above on the tray but I haven't taken notice on the Boston's how they are set up in particular
I appreciate your expertise. I appreciate your warm demeanor. Bless you!
Excellent debugging and an easy fix! Love it!
Excellent !
Great video thanks 😁
YOU ARE A GREAT PIANO TECHNICIAN😉😉😉
Do you have the UA-cam video made of
BOSTON GRAND BEDDING ?
What tool do you use for that? Please video it please.

I'm a little confused. wouldn't lowering the back check rail that much also significantly lower the dampers over the strings and risk other problems?

@@saltlakepianoservice thanks!
Can I ask you why there is no return spring in the tray, between the underlevers?

@@saltlakepianoservice yes, maybe it's an exception only for the Boston.
Nice, thanks for sharing. Oh, and next time, use a tripod. 😉
