damper lift

[Carl Meyer]

List:

Again I forgot to measure the height of the key end that lifts the damper when the hammer is half way to the string.

Is there a relationship?  I want to set up the dampers now without the stack on the key frame since I'm waiting for the Ronsen hammers to arrive.  

Would it be logical to assume that one-half stroke of the key would result in one-half hammer travel to the strings?

I think that's what I'll do and correct it later if necessary.  I can glue on the dampers now and be that far ahead after I get the hammers, shanks and flanges installed.

BTW what do you guys think of damper lift.  Do you favor early or late lift referred to half travel?

Thanks for your help.
