Ed Before I comment further what's the dip at the pin or wherever you measure it. This is very interesting and peculiar. Dale Erwin Case in point. (here is the puzzle part) I am currently preparing to rehammer and reshank a 10 year old D which has a very high string height and a very low ratio (4.9). At 1 7/8 blow, the shanks are almost 1/2" off the cushions. This action currently has 17 mm knuckle distance, SW in the upper middle range, FW in the average range, and ridiculously low DW of 50 gr. in the bass, 44 gr in the area of note 25, and 40-42 gr. from note 32 on up. BW on A0 is 40, tapering down to 33 at note 73. I could elect to reduce the FW, keeping all other things near the same. However, this would not address how high the hammers are off the rest cushions. It would not increase the power,either. What would you do? ( I already have a plan of action, which entails three changes, but will be interested in other's interpretation.)
