Joe: I thought by "leveling" you meant making a sharper break (removing string curl) at the v-bar/capo/agraffe. Are you referring to something else or are we speaking two different piano languages? As long as we are clarifying, I assume you mean "hammer to strings" or "strings to hammer" when you say "mate." Yes? When you speak of shifting keys (una corda, transposing), I think of "centering" hammers as part of "mating" hammers. I might be confused. Would NOT be the first time. <G> Alan R.

I have only seen one. And that was on a transposing action.
