everett upright, ca 1974</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>hi all<BR><BR>i'm working on this everett, you see, and i've
filed the hammers maybe 1mm or so, and adjusted letoff, but the hammers now
have a "blocking" feeling (blocking against the string if you know what i
mean). i used the 1/8th 1/16th inch magnetic strips from Schaff or Pianotek as
a good place to start for letoff and tried to graduate it from 1/8-1/16.
<BR><BR>i'm wondering if i've set letoff too close. it's on a teacher's piano,
so i'm thinking kids who play lightly might notice it more,
too.<BR><BR>help?<BR><BR>daniel carlton<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
