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".
