>There's room to raise the key height..yes I checked the sharps. Aside from making certain the sharps will not be affected by the fallboard there is a more important consideration. That is the depth of the front rail bushing on the pin. There should be at least 1/4" of the pin into the bushing at rest. Getting the key too high on the pin can cause accelerated wear from the end of the pin impacting into the cloth. In other words, the pin should be in as least as far as the depth of the cloth. So before you raise the key level, grip the f/r pin with tweezers at the bottom of various sharps and lift the key to see what is there. That info will inform you as to whether it is better to raise the keys or lower the dip. Adjusting the dip is much faster (lower cost) than to raise the level. Of course you have to consider the height of the key slip too. And around and around we go... Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
