Usually, it's a sign that key height is low when let-off can't be
felt... Increase the key height and let-off gives you a nice "thump"
when the key is depressed slowly.

Other Kimballs have had that thump on let-off. This is the first one to
behave like this.

It plays, but it does not have the same overall feel that other painos
have.
