Bechstein

[Jon Page]

Peter,
You will find the solution in setting the repetition spring tension
and setting the height of the jack in the rep. lever.

If there is too much play between the top of the jack and the
knuckle (barrel), an even hammer line is impossible to maintain.

PS. A better system than a rack to adjust letoff and drop is 
the TautLine Regulation Guide.   (info available on request)

PPS.  Pianolac - a new waterbase acrylic_is_the material to use.
