How much key travel should there be after the tangent touches the string? Are there other important parameters in the set up of this "action?" Dave Porritt SMU - Dallas Dave, I confess that I don't really have the answer to your question, only some speculation. I *do* know that the term for the vibrato effect obtained by further depression of the key is "bebung". The amount of bebung obtained should emulate the "tasteful" vibrato of the human voice, or what would be common in guitar or lute performance. If there is enough key travel to change the pitch a whole bunch it's probably too much. Paul Dempsey Marshall University wippen@aol.com
