S&S Hieght of damper underlever tray

[Mark Story]

Another thing to watch here is that by changing the thickness of the key end
felt (or anything else that necessitates altering the height of the top
flange) you don't end up with the sost. tab out of range of the sost. rod.
How do I know this?  Of course, I did it once.

With respect to those who suggest it, and while I've done this a good deal,
I am reluctant to move immediately to increasing the thickness of the
back rail cloth.  If one is going to do this, one really should also
consider
_how_ to compensate for the loss of key height.  It is not enough to simply
increase key dip, the basic height of the keys should be raised as
necessary.
Otherwise, you not only (farther) throw off the ratios between the keys and
the stack, you also exacerbate the problems created by the poor design of
the
back action to begin with, thus contributing to an even more Gordian
problem than you had before.
