Then, that would help in repetition! The key would feel a "little" lighter, but the jack could get far enough under the butt so you could play the note again.

The butt leather appears to have a more rounded profile which probably helps. The jack springs don't seem any stronger than on a traditional action. I think it works partly because the hammer is closer to its balance point but far enough from the strings where the return spring offers little resistance. -- Ryan Sowers, RPT Puget Sound Chapter Olympia, WA www.pianova.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
