I experienced a new low today. I did a bunch of work on a 6' Hyundai =
action (10 yo) and was set to do a bench regulation. Using my =
pre-measured string heights, I found that I obviously made a gross =
mistake with my measurement somehow. So I drove the 40 miles back to the =
piano and re-measured - my original measurements were correct. The =
hammers on this thing were bored to produce a full quarter-inch =
overstrike.

What are the correct words here - this is amazing - did they build all =
their pianos this way? Don't they just have some jig in the factory =
where all hammers for this model are drilled the same way? Did =
somebody's finger get in there and jacked the jig up a quarter inch?

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Maybe I just haven't been =
around long enough!
