Barbara, It's in a totally differing environment than her teacher's piano. The teacher's piano isn't that old, and I prepped it too. Ron hit when he said that she doesn't play to the bottom of the keystroke, and I doubled the let-off, gave it more dip, and set the checks up, but then she still played it so softly that she still made it bobble, or she couldn't even get a tone (let-off too far away). I told her that I didn't think I could help her with this, she should just play it, and she would get used to it, but that still didn't get her over the click feel. That's when I thought of maybe lubing the butts, that that might make it smoother for her, at the touch level she has. A no-win situation, if ever I saw one, at least till she learns to play even more "caressingly". Clark
