<font size=3>Hi Julie,<br><br>
1mm with out the front rail punching starting to become depressed,
will give a generous amount of after touch.<br>
The front rail punching, enters into the equation big time.
After touch within limits is a personal preference.<br>
So no black and white answer to the question.<br><br>
With a smile on my face: Depends on which way the nap
lies?????? mmmmmmmmmmmm<br><br>

Hey there David.... dont you think 3 mm is quite a lot of clearance ???
Personally I shoot for about a half a mm clearance... and I mean clean
clearence from the knuckle... more then that just slows things down and
doesnt win you anything but extra dip... or what ??<br><br>

When the keystroke of a grand piano key is<br>
complete, how far front should the jack's final
position be in<br>
relationship to the knuckle? I know it shouldnt
be as far front<br>
as to have it buried in the stop felt at the end of
the rep lever<br>
or too far back either.<br><br>
