    What type piano is this?
  *****1913 Knabe 5'8"
   SO here are the fixes. reduce the distance the knuckle is from the pin. Meaning insted of where it is, bring it closer to the center pin & or and the capstans toward the rear of the piano till the blow works with the dip that is present. 
  *****I think moving the capstans will be my option.

  This sound like a 4.5 or 4.8 action ratio.
  *****More like 4.3
  *****The issue is that it does not feel bad. The touchweights are ok and I am tempted to leave well enough alone.
  I am just curious if there is any problems associated with 41mm blow distance.
