[pianotech] key position at rest

[Richard Brekne]

Clearly I'm confusing your term "underlever" with the whippen.  What 
exactly are you referring to by the term "underlever".  Thanks for your 
patience and remember I've been dealing with European terminology for 
about 30 years now.

        Sorry I don't quite get it ... but  1 1/2 inch from where ? 
        From  exactly what point on the whippen to exactly what point
        elsewhere does this 1 1/2 inch come from ?

     From the key bed. Generally a S&S will have the key end lifter felt
    at rest at ~1 3/8" from the key bed and the underlever at rest is
    around 1 1/2" from the key bed which is lifted by the key to around
    1 3/4" from the key bed.
