Also however, is the potential for being able to understand the behaviour of the action mass as felt at the front of the key better. Tho in the end... both of these may very well turn out to be a moot point. With the present action design, we are not going to get away from the present choices put in front of us regarding choice of hammer weight and counterbalancing schemes. At least not very far away :) Cheers RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
