Jon, that ain't the way I see it. On the Steinway, lifting the damper
tray moves the underlever flange pin upwards, and if the underlever is
already trapped between the upstop rail and the keyend felt with the key
depressed, the result is that the nose of the underlever goes back down,
pushing the keyend down, attempting to raise the keyfront, and taking away
from aftertouch. No??
