Have you been flushin' your Prozac again? Please explain the above for a mechanical idiot such as myself</BLOCKQUOTE>             David       Uhh whats prozac dude.  Actually that terminology is From Chris Robinson. Think about it . Your working on a new Yamawai and it doesn't feel like it has enough aftertouch ,the kachunck at the bottom of the key travel..   Resetting the sunken hammer line/blow distance to spec.brings the after touch back into tolerance ,don't it? If the dip/aftertouch was once set acurately to a given blow distance this wil work. The same would be true on the baldwin even if it has graduating key and action rations. Phil was choosing to alter the dip,to accomadate the ratios,  I'd choose to alter the hammer line and have the dip the same although I know I definitely don't like a shallow feel in the bass either.     Clear as mud?    Dale</HTML>
