Also, tails may hit whippen flanges when hammer comes to rest. I just worked on a 2001 M&H BB and the hammer line was so off, if you pushed the action in for proper strike @ C8 the back checks interfere with sostenuto and under levers, no matter what. The piano is also breaking strings at the V bar and I suspect the hammer line has something to do with it.
