More dip in bass

[David Love]

Since felt compression also takes place on the balance rail punching,
lowering the key height in the center proportionately more than on the ends
and thus reducing the dip, I don't think that makes much sense.

One of the local techs here in long island, during a presentation detailing
his key height/key dip setting procedure, said he likes to set the dip on
the piano in something of a bell a curve, being slightly deeper at the ends
and slightly shallower in the middle.  This, he said, was to compensate for
the gradual felt compression which will occur during playing, since the
middle gets more wear than the ends.

Just another idea for the mix.
