Hammers have to be located at the piano, unless you have specifications and even then variations in each plate casting can change hammer location. C88 is located by sound. Moving the hammer in or out can produce a tremdous difference in the power of the sound. Mark the key frame location as located by the frame positioners, whatever system is used, the place the new hammer on its shank and move the action in and out until the best sound is found. Check the line of original location and move the hammer in or out the same amount. You can also do this for the hammer at the bottom of the treble section. From the bottom of the treble section to the bottom of the next section is most likely a straight line but you can check it the same way. from there to A0 will be a straight line. I know this may not be a lot of fun, but it is the only way. Newton nhunt@jagat.com ..oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.
