Rick, et. al, Thanks for pointing me in this direction. This is actually the text I have, though there is no diagram included, nor is it mentioned anywhere in the text that the hammers should rest on the rail! Does anyone familiar with these have specific tools they use for bending the springs or other functions, or a specific method for bending/massaging/cajoling/tweaking them? Interesting piano. IF the hammers aren't on the rail, the notes will fail as often as not, because the jacks get trapped.

Right you are. I read this in a german text about the so called Blüthner Patent action. I don't know exactly when Blüthner ceased using it's patent action.
