Check key height, hammer line, key dip, repetition, aftertouch one note or two notes to see what you have to do to get them working correctly. I quite often will pre-set let off on a few end notes so I know what the aftertouch etc., will be like. Then, I regulate the rest on those preset notes like key height etc., accordingly until it comes out the way it should. Then, I proceed on to the rest knowing they will be the same.

After a first round there was way too much aftertouch and the keystroke/playing felt very hard at the end of play. Today, to reduce aftertouch a increased the blow distance and re-adjusted knuckle to core alignment. (so far) Now on very repeated blows the hammer can not repeat well and if it is played very repeatedly the hammer drops into a very low check and will not play. If I continue to try to play the not quickly after 8 or so more fast attempts the back check gives way and boom the hammer strikes the string very strongly. Then back to the poor repitition and the drop into "check". What is the issue here? I have double checked simultaneous escapement on a few test notes and am having the same issue there. No problem with general everyday playing. Your help is appreciated, Steven Hopp _____ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft's powerful SPAM protection.
