When I took the S&S factory class (a few years ago)...they</DIV> <DIV>said  dip was .420 &  .400, but that was for production pianos at that time. (late 90s)...</DIV> <DIV>I just need to relevel everything, check all the "forfinishing" parameters and then set dip by</DIV> <DIV>jack escapment + 16" or 1 mm....then I'll know exactly what the dip "is" for this piano in it's</DIV> <DIV>present state. I'll have the stack off for key rebushing, so that means, it is time to sharpen up</DIV> <DIV>the action regulation, as well, while it is off. This action has the Renner turbo whippens and</DIV> <DIV>current spec S&S shanks and flanges (17mm knuckles).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> I would like the hammershanks to be closer to the rest cushions, though.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>According to Mohr, "vary the stack height before fudging anything else based on your string height average." I won't move anything until I get some measurements, though.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With all your help, and all these figures/procedures I'm bound to find the solution!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing at all"....as my brother says....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks again,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Richard Adkins</DIV> <DIV> Coe College</DIV></BODY></HTML>
