Phil, Most of the problems originate from the rep spring which is too delicate for the kind of work it does. They are a pain to regulate and frequently work their way out. Once out, if the playing is hot and heavy they have about as much a chance of survival as a squirrel on the expressway at rush hour. Replacing mangled ones is time consuming and if the spring is just a little out of adjustment the note plays poorly, if at all. Rebounding hammers and no backchecking are problems that all of us here have unsuccessfully taken turns trying to solve. Each one of our instruments is essentially a prototype and I now regret not having waited longer before purchasing 4 of them. I could write pages on the trouble we have had.
