nice - right where one would want it. UW is high - but is that bad? Does the
key ever return too fast for a pianist? But why is it so high? I know that you
don't get something for no price. Doesn't that suggest that the action is
suffering somewhere else?</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>

Terry and the low frictrion is the symptom. We tend to think "friction-bad" but
pianists need a certain amount to feel in control. How is your pinning on your
sample parts? One place where there is typically too little friction is in the
balancier which will cause the repitition to be slower than if the friction were
in the higher side of its range say 5g.</FONT></STRONG></FONT></DIV><FONT
