I am a new piano tech and I am regulating my 1964 Steinway Model L  before I 
sell it. The key dip is 11/32 when it should be 13/32 but the hammer blow 
distance is   1 15/16 instead of 1 3/4. If I adjust the dip properly the blow 
distance will be even larger or it will have too much after touch and if I 
adjust the blow distance properly the key dip will be even less. The piano 
plays well although I remember it always felt "shallow" even though I liked 
that at the time.Any ideas as to what to do? I called Steinway and they were 
no help.
