Keith, generally most of the centers seem to be to tight causing a sluggishness in the action. Most of the hammer shanks swing from 3-5 times, using that test. I haven't worked on the piano yet, the artist would rather replace with felt, but the cost is too much for him so I was searching for a solution to make the action feel better without getting into a whole lot of reaming and repinning. Thanks much for all the help. And to Ed, thank you too. Removing the let-off rail is the way to go, I didn't think of that at the time. Too simple, I was looking too hard for a way to use a tool but there was no way to get any tool through there. Thanks again. Jerry Schoenfeld
