Most likely, the Kimball originally tried to do the = first method, but it's become worn, and may need to be re-done.

In other words, it gets = too close to the strings, making the keys play very sloppily and = inconsistent. I have received good advice from my mentor regarding how to limit the = forward movement of the hammer rail, but I am still nervous on how to = combat the problem and eliminate the excess travel. The customer has indicated that when the pedal is pushed down 1/2 way, = she can play the piano with much better consistency...it feels better, = not so sloppy. Does anyone have any suggestions for this situation? Thank you. Brian Doepke doepkeb@comcast.net=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
