new Hamilton

[Farrell]

Tuned this new Hamilton grand at dealers just before Christmas. No big deal, not great ,but no real major problems. Went back last week after a prolonged cold snap here in the NE. 
Key dip was no more than 8mm and regulation was terribly off as you would expect.

Why would you expect the regulation way out of whack?

Looked under fronts and found about an average of 8-10 punchings under each key,also key height is off on several naturals.

Okay, now I might expect regulation to be off because of the above situation.

I'm open to any suggestions besides gasoline and a match to correct.

Regulate action.

My first thought is to redo height and dip and then regulate,but could this be a key frame problem? Humidity level has not been over 30% in this room.

I suppose it could be most anything, but the obvious starting point would be to see how things work after removing a couple dozen punchings from a couple test keys. Likely removing front rail punchings will give you the dip you need and all will be well (or at least better).
