MessageSchaff has hunks of nice dense scrap hammer felt. They sell it by =
the pound (I think). Order a bunch - it has so many uses.

    Most pianos have a block of felt glued to the hammer rail felt in =
order to stop the rail rise against the action bracket.  This is a =
regulation that must be done on all upright actions when you install a =
new action.  It is something that was missed at the factory.  Kimball =
missed lots of things at the factory.

      I have a client who's Kimball Console piano hammer rail has too =
much travel when the soft pedal is fully depressed.  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.
