Hi David, I'd say, yes. I didn't try and get this behaviour on all the notes, but the ones I tried all did it. You're right also, I didn't mention bedding, but yes, bedded from scratch. I charted out the numbers today, and it makes me crazy looking at the plots of DW, UW, BW, and Friction. The pianist and I have already had dialogue about that, and I hope he takes my recommendation and decides to pursue it deeper when next we meet. I don't suspect I'll see the piano for another four months, unless the double striking proves to be torture for him - which it may. So, whenever that happens, I'll have more to report. Michael, I'm already at 1 3/4" blow and if I decrease key travel any more, I'll have little or no aftertouch - it's just enough as is. I hesitate to reduce blow any more, and I don't think increasing let-off is appropriate. .400 just works here, and in all but this one situation (sharp stacatto blow) the action plays very well. I'm not saying I won't try reducing blow if other things fail, but it's not the first thing I'll do. Thanks for the ideas. William R.
