John, Thanks for the reply but the problem is that the keys are too high already in relation to the key slip. I have the thinnest balance rail punchings sold by Schaff and their are no glides on the keyframe. Sounds like the other thing to do is have the keys too high in relation to the keyslip. Any other ideas? -----Original Message----- From: John Ross [mailto:jrpiano@win.eastlink.ca] Sent: Friday, July 19, 2002 9:14 AM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Re: Bechstein key height Hi Ray, Add some balance rail punchings.
