<DIV>What is an "action standard"? I have now shimmed the action =
bracket
feet. Is that what you are referring to? End blocks all tight. =
Entire front
edge of keyframe mates perfectly to keybed. What do you mean regarding =
checking
the wippen rail for level - are you asking is it warped? Yup, it is =
warped a
little bit, much like the hammer rail. Thanks for your =
input/interest.</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Terry, You may have to figure out which action standard =
is
causing the problem and shim it. When you leveled in the piano did you =
put the
end blocks in and screw them down? Did you check the whippen =

level?
