What is an "action standard"? I have now shimmed the action bracket =
feet. Is that what you are referring to? End blocks all tight. Entire =
front edge of keyframe mates perfectly to keybed. What do you mean =
regarding checking the wippen rail for level - are you asking is it =
warped? Yup, it is warped a little bit, much like the hammer rail. =
Thanks for your input/interest.

  Terry, You may have to figure out which action standard is causing the =
problem and shim it. When you leveled in the piano did you put the end =
blocks in and screw them down?  Did you check the whippen rail for =
level?=20

" That was the whole problem here. I did level the key frame on the =
keybed. I did level keys (I even did a few with the frame in the keybed =
to see if it changed anything - it didn't). But when I install the stack =
to regulate, all of a sudden the key leveling is way out of whack! My =
stack is bending the rear of the keybed upward in the middle. I am in =
the midst of making appropriate shims so that stack installation does =
not stress the flatness of the keyframe, and installing additional rear =
keyframe hold-downs to work against the warped keyframe. "Nothing a new =
piano wouldn't solve!" Terry Farrell =20

      Earlier there was a discussion of bench regulation. However, there =
