"My Whole Keyboard is Broke"

[Kevin E. Ramsey]

    Technically, the bridle wires "shouldn't" be adjusted so tightly that
they cause the keys to wink. That is, of course, if the pedal stop is
adjusted so that it doesn't raise the hammers beyond 1/2 blow.
    But, we never see this, right. Not even on NEW pianos. Oh, no.
