<DIV>This piano has been bugging me for a long time. Perhaps some of=
you
remember it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The problems were:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Excessive keydip, yet not enough aftertouch!</DIV>
<DIV>Bobbling hammers throughout the piano, except for the high treble</DI=
V>
<DIV>Spongy feel, as if the felt punchings were really spongy, yet the key=
s
were not even contacting the punchings.</DIV>
<DIV>Key/action movement felt blocked about halfway through keystroke.</DI=
V>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Checked key height, seemed excessive at around 65mm, but in the end i=
t
checked out</DIV>
<DIV>okay</DIV>
<DIV>Key dip was okay.</DIV>
<DIV>Clearance in all possible affecting rails(damper stop, sticker, and j=
ack
stop rails)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Clue: This problem is probably unique to this particular type o=
f
piano.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Answers later....should be easy for some of you more experienced Amer=
ican
techs to figure out.</DIV>
