And you're going to have to reset the sostenuto on that raised stack. I had to bend the brackets down pretty far on a stack that had been raised a lot and then the spring kept coming out of the monkey. I tiled the spring by shimming up the screwed-in end of the spring. I haven't been back since then--I assume it's working.

It would help to know what the key dip is and how much aftertouch there is and how far off the hammer rest cushions the shanks are. The Ratio is at issue here.
