Forgot to mention, that one must use wholetone scales and major augmented or tritone arpeggios to make this test work.

>     For satisfaction and efficiency, try removing and completing every other shank first.  After half are finished, reinstalled, and regulated,  play chords, arpeggios, and whole tone scales in one key and compare them with the identical ones on the untouched notes one half step up or down.  Having every other hammer on the rail makes it super easy to space hammers upon installation.  I've had fun regulating actions that way before.
