Tight Grommets

[Mike and Jane Spalding]

Matt,

Aftertouch is marginal to non-existent.   If i could have removed the lost motion, that would have restored the aftertouch to about the right amount.  I might have had to also shim the hammer rest rail forward.
I'm thinking replacing the grommets will be less hassle in the long run than messing up the key frame.
