Hi Joe I didnt really think so much about you personally... kinda figured you were tonguing the old cheek :) Still there are those who make that point quite seriously and are adamant in their stance that the impact cannot be felt at the key because of the jack top / knuckle 1 ms decoupling. It is just 1 ms according to the Five Lectures by the way. I think tho before I start making claims to have proven anything that a bit more sophisticated examination is in order.... still I agrees wis yaz... seems to point in one direction dont it?
