Then what might be the point of spoons on damper under levers? As a manufacturing expedient, in a piano designed for them, I can see where it gives a quick final touch up of key damper lift timing without disturbing alignment or pedal lift timing. That could be a potentially good thing (depending on how sloppy the rest of the regulation process was), but is that important enough to anyone to go to the trouble of making them fit in the available space in a retrofit? It seems to be a tad wide of my priorities, but do any of you out there find a tenth of a millimeter or less difference in key damper lift timing worth spending time and angst on? If so, why? I understand the pedal thing, so please don't go into lengthly explanations on the question I didn't ask. I'm asking about key lift. I know I probably don't really want to hear the answers, but the last several weeks of list traffic has numbed any illusion of survival instincts and judgment I might have otherwise entertained. So please, anyone, enlighten me. Ron N
