Hi Paul, Remove the stack from the action, and replace the keyframe with the keys in the action cavity. Don't force the back of the keys under the underlevers, but stop with the keys just in front of the underlevers, and check the spacing of the back of the keys in relation to the levers..both at rest, and in the shift position. You may have to space the first eight underlevers slightly more to the right. Pay attention to the keys that are operating correctly, as this will give you the best guidelines as to what spacing is correct. This will involve removing the dampers and rebending of the wires. Before you commit to that approach however, you may be able to get away with planning the width of the back of the key and end felt slightly, to create enough clearance when the shift pedal is engaged. Before you do any of this, make sure that the action shift is operating correctly in relation to the hammers and strings. Good luck, and prepare to be a hero.

When I press the shift pedal, it doesn't go down very far, and the action does not shift far enough to play only two strings. I adjusted it so that it would shift farther, but then the dampers of the wound bichords to the right of the break (there are about eight such notes) would lift in pairs... for example, playing D3 with the shift pedal down results in dampers for D3 and D#3 being raised. This only happens on those eight or so notes, not in the plain wire treble, nor in the wound bichords left of the break. Any ideas? Thanks, Paul Bruesch Stillwater, MN
