---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Paul, Thanks for the advice. There is plenty of aftertouch. That was one of the=20 first things I checked and corrected, because initially, there was none. =20 Everything works fine--until the damper pedal is engaged. I will put some thicker punchings on a few balance rail samples and see if i= t=20 can be regulated properly before I raise the whole rail. Could it be a=20 leverage issue?? =20 Dave Stahl In a message dated 12/6/03 8:29:10 AM Pacific Standard Time,=20 pmc033@earthlink.net writes: > You need to determine if there=E2=80=99s enough aftertouch.
