That said... the front rail bushing seems to me to be an area that pianists appreciated feeling near no resistance in. Which has always suggested to me that friction levels might be best if they were biased towards the end of the finger-to-hammer chain... ergo.... as much firmness in the hammer shank as I can get away with and maintain free play. Next back would be the whippen flange center, then the jack center. But thats just loose thinking... no data whatsoever to back that up. Cheers RicB
