Resetting the sunken hammer line/blow distance to spec.brings the

would be true on the baldwin even if it has graduating key and action 
rations. Phil was choosing to alter the dip,to accomadate the ratios, 
I'd choose to alter the hammer line and have the dip the same 
although I know I definitely don't like a shallow feel in the bass 
either.


Why is why I prefer to set the hammer blow where I think it should 
be, and then regulate the aftertouch (not the dip, thank you).

I look it it this way. if because of variations in leverage which can 
show up from note to note, two keys next to each other (and with 
identical blow) need amounts of aftertouch which disagree by 0.01", I 
would much prefer to have the two dips disagree so that for a commmon 
blow, the aftertouch can be the same. I figure that the pianist will 
notice that 0.10" disagreement far less when put into the dip (to 
achieve a consistent aftertouch), than put into the aftertouch (to 
achieve a common dip). Comparing 0.010" to 0.396" dip (or what have 
you), or comparing 0.010" to 0.050" aftertouch (especially if the 
0.01" to is subtracted from instead of added to the aftertouch? I'd 
put my money on the error being  in the dip rather than the 
aftertouch.
