harpsichord sharps hitting balance rail

[Andrew and Rebeca Anderson]

I'd guess the answer would depend on how high the sharps are.  The 
limit on pianos is 1/2" I think, perhaps some variance by 
manufacturer.  I think the harpsichord here is a little less.  A lot 
of pianos to have a half-oval taken out of the sharps where they 
would hit otherwise.  Probably a little of both...

Enjoy
