 >Does anyone know just what the height above the keybed is the key end 
damper lifter felt on a Steinway?
 >Is it:  1 1/4"  or  1 3/8".

Here's what I did to figger it out:

What I ended up doing was to lift the underlever until it was parallel to 
the keybed and measured the height.
Subtracting keydip brought the felt to 1 3/8".
