Wesley, if you are using the Piano Action Handbook, the information on pages 1.33 and 1.34 for Key Dip is a bit confusing. The entries of .400 and .390 are NOT millimeters but inches. 0.400 inches translates to 10.16 mm while 0.390 inches translates to 9.9 mm. 0.420 mm is 10.668 mm. These entries are all around 7/16" - more or less.

The keydip for the B and D is 390mm, while the keydip for the S, M, and L is 420 mm. Wesley Hardman Scottsboro, Alabama -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
