take the cheek blocks out and put the masking tape where the keyslip was. Mark the starting point of the frame and see if pulling the frame towards you improve the killer octaves. Mark the best spot for those notes and rehang the hammers. That would be the horseshoe shape from G5 to G6 that is usually found on the B. On the L or O, I noticed the last 8 notes of the top octave, the hammers were hung closer. If I hung the hammers in a straight line and lined up c88 the best, Then from C7 to G5 sounded off.
