    Yes!  If the hammer shanks are sitting on their rest cushions, they of
course won't dip, and if there's no repetition spring strength at all, or if
the knuckles have deep grooves in them, they probably won't either.  Before
regulating a grand, always make sure you have some drop and some repetition
spring strength.     --D.N.
