your punching comments

[William R. Monroe]

good point.

I don't know.  I would think the punching would still have an effect, as the
key must still come to rest on the front rail felt, but I guess, in reality,
that would be somewhat irrelevant, as on a very hard blow, the front rail
punching would not necessarily stop the upward movement at the capstan.  The
back of the key could still rise a bit to add power..............how about
the old style reproducing players that saddle up on top of the keyboard?
