For the newbies, and seasoned vets to chuckle over:


OK, here's a little  mystery question for you regarding the weird =
feeling action of a Small Baldwin grand piano.

I arrived today for a regulation job at customer's house. Took a quick =
tour of the action with my fingers, and proclaimed the action a mess. =
Let off  appeared to be about a half an inch from the strings, Drop was =
really low and keys were pretty much evenly low from factory spec, but =
just slightly, dip was a very fat 3/8". But here's the weird thing that =
caught me off guard for a few mystifying moments: The hammers were =
already adjusted to be a 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" and were pretty much in a good =
straight line.=20

Yikes! I thought. Where am I going to get enough whippen lift from??? =
OK, that was the quickie analysis. What was wrong with the action set up =
as it was? Original hammers, and not too worn, by the way.
