Hi all, It's been years since I bored my own hammers and need a number. What is a proper bore distance for a Steinway L (1924). I installed some Abel Naturals last fall and the project went on hold while the piano got a new board and bridges. I just measured A-0 and it's 2-1/8". I'm trying to regulated the action and am having a tough time for some reason. The key level and dip is factory perfect, I've got the proper blow distance of 1.75". I can't get let off any closer than 1/4"!! The rebuild was done right and the plate is the same height as before. I've even tried to raise the blow a bit, and still can't get it to let off correctly. The frame is perfectly bedded. The wips are old, but in pretty good shape. I started at A-0 and only tried 5-6 notes before writing yall. I'm wondering what's going on. Any thoughts of what to check next? Paul -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
