I need to find the "sweet" spot up at C88 to determine how long to cut the shanks (determine strike point). Doing this on a grand piano is so easy by sliding the action in and out a bit and the hammer assembly can be glued nice and firm for good sound production. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this on an upright? If you move the action, the regulation changes, and if you have the hammer mobile, I fear it is too loose to really get a good sound. How do you folks do make this determination?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry Farrell</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
