When I took Rick & Chris' class on the Renner damper tray replacements, I 
learned that over the years, the angle of the levers had changed from what they 
were originally, so that the angle of the levers in pianos made in the 70's 
were so steep that the levers were digging into the lifter felts. And that is 
what is happening on one of my B's. The mid section lifter felts have been 
replaced once before, and I am doing it again. 

I looked at the levers, and they are at about a 10 or 12% degree angle. The 
height is also 1 5/8" instead of the normal 1 1/2". My questions is, can I 
lower the whole tray so that the levers are more level, and the height will be 1 
1/2"? Or am I asking for trouble?
