<div id="result_box" dir="ltr">Perhaps an action problem?</div> <div>Or could it be caused by the positions of the hammers? (Uppest hammers must hit the strings on the top near the "capotasto" to produce a beautifull sound , isn't it?). Or didn't I understand your question? ... </div> <div> </div> <div>regards,</div> <div> </div> <div>F.B.
