I have a Mason & Hamlin concert grand here that in the bass, the
hammers<br>
bounce quite a bit after the note is being struck and the hammer returns
to<br>
the rest rail. In fact it bounces so much that on a staccato blow
sometimes<br>
it can hit the string/s again. I have a pianist that pointed it out to
me.<br>
I played around with the adjustable hammer rest rail. If the rail is
close<br>
to the hammers, it seems like it is worse. The only deduction I can come
up<br>
with is that the hammers are too heavy. But really they are not.<br>
BTW. The pinning is fine.<br>
How can I avoid this problem? Why is it doing it only in the bass?<br>
Thanks.<br>

Sluggish key return? Ease the bushings and balance rail hole.<br>
Excessive lead in the front? What's the Touchweight?<br>
