done all these things and nothing helps all that much. This should =

does
happen, It means you have too much paper under there. You can =
lower the
center rail. Take out shims. Or you can add a cardboard shim =
or two
under the backrail felt and lower all the keys at once. If you =
wondered
why the backrail felt is only glued on the front side of its width, now =
you
know. I find shims under many original back rails---from the =
factory --so
I know this was common practice. It solves the sharp felt messing =
up the
natural dip problem.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There's one (of many?) thing I've =
never
understood. Exactly where are the two diameter front rail punchings =
designed
to be used?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm finding that this action was =
poorly built at
the factory also. After leveling the white keys, I installed the black =
keys,
and found that several white keys were then too high. Finally figured =
out
that those white keys, were also resting on the punching pile for =
the
adjacent sharp (sharp center rail pin is too close to =
the adjacent
natural). Is the only easy/quick solution to this to trim the =
punchings? Will
they stay in place (not rotate)?
