Well, that is just what I am trying to do. Understand it. I am aware that a
variety of alignment mistakes are commonly made during piano construction
and I am trying to ascertain whether this is likely one of them. I like to
correct what I can easily do. If this is a mistake, and a detriment to the
piano, I would consider that a very good reason to make the change. It is a
very quick and easy one to do.
