I have had a few customers pleading for better repetition.  Very often,
the action is working 'within specs', and so I would normally conclude
that there is nothing wrong.  I have found that by reducing the letoff as
much as possible, the repetition is greatly improved on grands, and by
reducing the back check distance on uprights.  Of course, there can be a
danger of the hammer bubbling against the string if either of these are
set too close to the string.
