>look at the key travel the action needs in order to produce >enough aftertouch (not too much or too little) with a standard hammer blow. [K Sloane] >How about, just for testing puposes, checking the dip with a solid front rail punching and measuring the key travel to where it stops? That way the point of bottoming out is for certain. >David Stanwood Might as well remove one variable (aftertouch). For quick ratio checking of two or three notes, you can set the blow at whatever you want, run the letoff up to the string and caliper the dip without aftertouch. Bob Davis
