completely. and imagine the capstan
touching the bottom of the "Wippen" right
where the top of the "Sticker" attaches
to the "Whippen." That is the only real

On some Yamahas and some old
uprights, there is a wooden capstan on a rather
long wire mounted to the back
end of the key lever. This gives some added height
to the piano without
having to use a "Sticker." In that case, a piece of felt will be
mounted
to the bottom of the "Whippen" and resting on the capstan.
Keep it lubricated with graphite.
