Once many moons ago when I was young and foolish( I'm now a little
older and foolish) I did a nice regulation on a small upright, moved it a few
inches, and everything changed, lots of lost motion etc., what was going on.
The piano apparently had been dropped hard enough in the move that the sides had
become loose enough for the piano frame-board-plate
was tilting forward slightly within its furniture assembly.

Never be caught again by travel'n keybed.
