Friends,  I have totally regulated a Young Chang  G-175 ( steamed, filed =
, and dry ironed the hammers,totally transformed the tone).  Turned into =
a pretty nice used piano.=20
    BUT, the thing was purchased by a recording studio on a fixed =
budget.  They loved the tone, the feel, etc.  But we feel that the =
action is just too noisy, for their use.  I have pretty well determined =
that the culprits are hard and indented whippen cushions (already =
steamed them, turned out well, and much quieter, for awhile at least), =
and the back rail felt.
    My question is, just how much key end contact do you need back =
there, anyway?  They have beveled off the ends of the keys, and they =
have 2 1/2 inches of back rail felt, and the keys thump down on about 2+ =
inches on the ends.  Just how much width of back rail felt do you need =
back there? =20
    Need suggestions, please!!  How to further quiet this puppy down?  =
Don't think it is the knuckles, as much as the whippen cushions, and =
now, the back rail.

Clark Sprague, RPT.
