Jack button punching compression/let-off button position

[Barbara Richmond]

Greetings,

Ha! I went downstairs to have another look and the poofy punching of the one new jack I installed; it had compressed nicely in however many hours it's been.  <Never mind>   :-)

OK, a question about let-off buttons.  Does it make any difference where the jack tender/toe hits the button?  Is there an ideal place?  

Thanks,

  Hi John and Barb,
                                     Shrinking the felt is OK to a point.  Upside, a little more stability for the jack position.  Downside, an increase in jack noise so be careful.  I suggest you experiment before you do all 88.    Usually there is some room to reposition the jack so take a careful look at this option.

  Regards Roger
