Probably due to a frig up in figureing placement of the Balance rail pins. So I already have some of these problems. I am not convinced that moving to a staggered capstan position is the right thing to do. But it is an interesting idea to check out. It doesnt hurt to look closer at the option thats for sure. Certainly one objective should be to get as uniform a whippen travel as is possible for the same amount of key travel. But you mention hammer acceleration... and in all this about Stanwood I cant remember seeing anything about that ever mentioned... and I would suppose its an important enough issue. Anyone got any good words of wisdom on this tangent ? -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway mailto:rbrekne@broadpark.no
