<< Does anyone have a reliable method of setting key dip (grand) on the bench so that it remains accurate when the action is moved back to the piano? I'd sure love to retire from sitting down at eye level to the key bed. >> Greetings, I use the aftertouch priority method, and if I set the end keys of each section in the piano, then I can get very close by shimming on the bench to re-establish that dimension and fill in the middle of the section. HOwever, for top end work, I don't think there is a substitute for doing it in the piano. Especially when you are dealing with +/- .002" over the compression variable of the punching. I do find that the crescendo punchings are favored by my customers.
