My understanding was that it was only supposed to lift it to the line
between the key fulcrum and the underlever center. Anything beyond
that and the key-end-felt-to-lever contact transfers from the lever's
end to to the key's end. That would include your underlever point-of-
level. Not a tremendous loss of leverage, plus occurring as it does
at the end of the stroke. But hey, Real Piano Men like to pick nits,
they're part of our diet.
