<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Bill, Richard.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My apologize. I gave you wrong =
measurements,
as Ric suggested in his mail. I agree this is all new to me, and I =
should
maybe dig it much more before I dare jump into a thread like this. =
But
again, my interest was to know if action ratio issues could cause this =
recurrent
problem in the Bechstein pianos I know : lack of linearity in
dynamics.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So if you are still interested, here =
are my
corrected measures of SW (as I don't have the Stanwood tools yet, I did =
the SW
measure holding the hammer shank on a blade just beneath the center pin, =
so the
hammer shank is horizontal. My previous measures were with the =
blade under
the knuckle. My fault.)</FONT></DIV>
