Sweet Spot/Strike Point

[Daleboy@aol.com]

Dear List and Mr. Fischer,
      Even though the hammers on your job had been installed
haphazardly.....it is likely that you would still be able to make some
accessment of the propper location of the strike point for this particular
piano.
      With the action in place in the piano, test note 88 by moving it in or
out slightly as you play the note, listening for the "sweet spot" as you do.
You must determine which notes from 88 down are hitting its propper strike
point...by sound....
while the action is in its natural rest position. Make notations as to which
notes are correct and use them as guides. Usually the notes closest to the
breaks will do well for guides. Factory measurements will get ya
close....proofs in da puddin!

Regards,
