Keep in mind I'm a newbie to this. I may ask a few newbie questions. Help me understand something. You say the hammers hitting the adjacent note's left string in the shifted position means the action is shifting too far to the right and needs shimmed or the stop screw needs adjusting. There is on this piano a flat top phillips head screw in the right cheek block that looks to be what stops the action from going too far. I get that much. What I don't get is why...The hammer problem only happened with those two notes (G4 & G#4). I would figure that if it is an action shift problem, I should have this hammer swing problem throughout the whole action. Now, as to the damper problem, it is only with two keys--G#4 and C6. When you play G4 and B6 everything works normal. The problem is that G#4 lifts the G4 & G#4 dampers and C6 lifts the B6 and C6 dampers. Thanks for the idea about re inserting the action without the stack. I didn't try that because I didn't think the keys would be able to teeter correctly without the weight on the back end--at least I know I could not play the keys normally without the stack when I had the action out of the piano. Thanks for the replies so far. John _________________________________________________________________ Mortgage refinance is Hot. *Terms. Get a 5.375%* fix rate.
