The problem would appear to be the back end of the keybed. See if you can determine if it is warped.

This week I spent 1 1/2 hours trying to determine why the left half of the hammers stand in mid air at a slant where the mid section is only a little off the rest rail down to the #1 hammer is past half way to the string, a straight slanted line. I removed the action to see if the main rail was split. It was not. I moved the sticker rail with stickers in up to the hammer rest rail and all the hammers stayed in place. I replaced the action and the hammers went back to the mid air position. All four action brackets fit properly on the studs below (ball and socket) no looseness. The capstans were not turned up in the bass. The keys lay flat on the back rail cloth. I could not find the problem. Any suggestions anyone? Thanks, Martin Wisenbaker ________________________________________________________________________ Email and AIM finally together.
