We have a C-7 (Yamaha) that double strikes on certain pianissimo
playing.  I say certain pp playing, because it is the way it is
played that makes it double hit.  Specifically, a certain player that
has this trouble.  We (the technicians) can make it do it only when
we try hard.  It is well regulated.  The latest thing I tried was to
increase let-off to 1/8th of an inch.  I am thinking that the jack
top can be bevelled on the "hammer" side to maybe fix it.  Anyone
come up against this problem?  Please advise!
