contraversial basic reguLating

[KeyKat88 at aol.com]

Greetings,
 
       I was taught first to set blow, then adjust all capstans to equal lost 
motion then, level keys and then regulate dip. My question always has been: 
If I regulate lost motion as the second step then, wont this cause uneveness in 
the aftertouch, since the wear/compacting of letoff felts/wippen heels, 
punchings in the piano happens mostly in the center? And then adding in the for or 
aft balance rail weight!  Also, turning the letoff buttons just a hair on a 
worn upright causes the rest of the adjustments to go off (way off sometimes) 
because one side of the button felt is worn and the other not. I thought I 
learned this, but I am still confused. Good news is that the concept/goal of 
desired piano touch outcome gets clearer. Method is still to be afound.    
 
Maybe my understanding of Aftertouch is not right. I understand it to be the 
feeling of resistance (like a shelf that 's about to fall) that the player 
feels just when the jack is about to flip out..Is that right?
 
Thanks,
Julia
