Hi John,

Seeing how I make a living reconfiguring actions, your problem is really
quite simple.

1. Position the stack so that the strike point is hitting the string at the
right point.
2. Position the capstan line and heels(cut off) so that the action ratio is
compatable     with the hammer weight.
3. Re-balance the keys with keylead.

I believe that in the fall, Bob Marinelli and I will be teaching a one day
seminar in Minneapolis on the subject of setting weight, leverage, and
friction in piano actions.

Hope you can make it.
