------------AB493AB5F0 Avery, Just some idle thoughts. Have you checked the damper limit rail. I've experienced a similar problem when the rail is too low and binding the tail of the key. Although I suspect Jim is right and that the let-off is the culprit. The bass let-off should be set to the lowest point of the string excursion envelope on a hard blow. If it too close the string will close the point of let-off. Is there sufficient amount of aftertouch and can you observe the jack clearing the knuckle? Key dip in New York Steinways is occasionally inconsistent and shallow. Is your pianist a "top player" or a "through the key" player. Was he playing Bach or Bartok?
