The first ma= rk for rest position, a second mark with action shifted about half way, and thi= rd at complete shift. It gives me a reference point. I can shift exactly at hal= f way, or to the left or right of the middle mark. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I also have made sure all the hammers hit the strings in the same place, (as per your suggestion). I learned that at Steinway last summer. Wha= t I have to remember is to make sure the hammers are not only in the right posit= ion, but that they are level, shaped, etc. Sometimes I get to looking for on= e particular problem, and forget to consider the other possible reasons why one of notes doesn't sound right.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks for the advice</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Wim </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
