Looking at this situation I saw that the jack would sometimes just slip out too much forward and not deliver its power. What would cause this? Could the keys not be levelled high enough?</FONT><FONT lang=0 style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" face=Arial color=#000000 size=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="12" BACK="#ffffff"></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></FONT><FONT lang=0 style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" face=Verdana color=#000000 size=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="12" BACK="#ffffff"><BR>Hi Julia, <BR><BR>I'm sort of directionally confused here.  Is forward towards the piano, or towards the player? <BR><BR>Thanks, <BR><BR>Dave Stahl</FONT> </FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
