Wim,

I don't know about check height to shank, but there is a typical
relationship of check height to hammer tail. With key fully depressed but
hammer not in check, the tail should be at about the same height as the
backcheck. But this involves two variables (at least), tail length and
backcheck height. If your tails are 27mm long (1 1/16"), this is a generally
a good tail length and you can check your backcheck height relative to your
tails. 

Search the archives by:

Go to google
Enter your search words followed by:
site:ptg.org  This will limit your search to the whole PTG site.

If you want to limit it to either the CAUT or Pianotech lists do this:
Go to google and enter your search words followed by:
site:ptg.org/pipermail/caut     for the cautlist or
site:ptg.org/pipermail/pianotech      for the pianotech list.
