let off gone berzerk

[Joseph Alkana]

Yeah, that makes sense. I didn't ask about environment or floor changes. And 
you're right about not paying attention to before and after move. Really, 
how many plunkers play up that high anyhow?

So I will go back and revise let-off rail position and fine adjust let-off 
buttons to resolve as soon as the piano adjusts to our climate here in 
Seattle.
Thanks for the help everyone! I just thought I might have overlooked 
something I wasn't familiar with.

PS
What if they take away the penny? Do we then say " just my two nickels 
worth"?
