This squishiness of the felt isnot a factor with Crescendo Punchings Yes, they make it possible to have less aftertouch (and, therefore, more power) and still be clearly defined about where key dip ends with a reasonable landing (without feeling like concrete). I have followed Andre Oorebeek's practice and install them routinely as part of every action job.

Thehammers should each rise from drop the same amount, not much butdefinitely some (1 mm?). That's a lot of lost territory.
