Cool clue, ric! So it seems that the bedding must be good if you don't get the same symptom with the hammer out of the equation..... So, my guess would have to be an over-flexable hammer rail, if you get movement of key neighbors with the hammer in the mix. Or, does the hammer provide enough resistance to make the balance rail move? I guess it would depend if the neighbor hammers move up, or down on strong blows. Ron Koval >From RicB: Hi Folks. Ok.. I think I have it figured out. And before I dig into any draconian measures, I'd like to hear what you all have to say about the following symptoms. When you play hard on the key neigbor hammers are bouncing like crazy... BUT !!!... if you lift the hammer out of the way by means of a shank hook and hit the key just as hard then .... no bouncing. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
