Hi Dave, Andrew... whomover;

Agreed on the relevancy bit :) It was good for a chuckle tho.  I should 
know I've done worse ofte times enough.

About the jack/knuckle alignment tho... he didnt give us which way the 
angle was... but noting the drop screws are all the way up and 
overstriking.... I'd certainly take a good look at whether or not the 
stack is too low. If I had to hazard a guess I'd say he probably sees 
the jack angled inwards and the shanks fairly high off their cushions... 
assuming he went with 10 mm dip and reasonble amount of aftertouch.  He 
didnt say but I suppose the let off screws are about as high as they can 
get as well.

Always hard to say tho with what we have so far.

Cheers

Missed that, I guess.  Not really relevant to my comments which still stand
as far as what to check.  Poor jack/knuckle alignment suggests the spread is
off.  

I suppose a four year history on the piano will be very telling...you go RB!
