Yes C-64 is almost always within a mm. Of course there will be exceptions. But whatever formula the Factory boys used to determine the b Scale & strike line was pretty uniformly off in my experience & that goes for the C & D ---JMO though. AS Paul illuded to each one will be slightly different. Even so, & even with my first best ear setting of the curved hammer strike line, I often move hammers a bit later on to maximize the sound especially when it gets down the brass tacks of final voicing & small improvements show up as refinement progresses. Ah yes I like to go back on many of my past rebuilds. Sometimes I get to do .....things over? Refine things further? Yes Dale So you’ve obviously found some consistency in this requirement. I guess it makes sense since I would presume it’s related to the plate design or casting. Looking back, though, I’m not sure I’ve seen the need in every example. Maybe it’s time to go back and visit those pianos…maybe later.

Noted 52 & 69 are hung on the old line. Note 64 is hung 4 mm toward the player. The rest of the section is hung in a gentle arc. Corrections are made later. Or if I have the piano in shop I do similar set ups.

So measuring every time has been the rule. But I have certainly picked up some measuring tricks from you, thanks!
