Richard,
    Of course we all know this is a 6'8"grand----NOT !
    I looked it up cause I'm an inquisitive lad, but a little background info is always helpful.
    Such as in not any particular order of importance 
    How old ?
    How worn?
    Are the backchecks in good condition
        Hammer tails, keydip ,balance rail holes.
aftertouch , rep lever spring strength ---YADA YADA YADA>
    Meet us at least part way with a well formulated posting and I'll bet you'll get some good advice,
    Just my opinion,

  Hello list,
  I have a problem with bouncing hammers on a Schimmel CC208T.  This is not the bubbling/bobbling hammers that can happen with a soft blow, but a rebound from the rest felt that restrikes the string on a sharp staccato blow.  The hammer flange pinning is a bit loose at 3-4 grams (7-8 swings), but I don't think that is the whole problem.  Anyone encounter a similar Schimmel problem?
