That works if the button felt is brand new and even. Another wrinkle on that method is to use 1/16" magnetic strips under the strings so the hammers block against the strip and then lower them until they just drop. Again, the felt (and your finger pressure) has to be very even or the results are all over the place. Also, the strips stay in place better on some pianos than others, probably because of irregularities in the string line. None of these methods is perfect and they all seem like a big pain in the tuckus until I compare them to bending over the piano for hours!

That's an interesting idea, Paul - how would you do that? Raise the let-off button until your hammer blocks against the string, then lower the let-off button, a nats eyelash, or 1mm. Feel your way through it, you can always stand over the piano and check your work. Paul M ____________________________________________________________ Make the most out of every dollar.
