Bechstein key height

[Breakall, Raymond]

Keith,

The blow isn't an issue yet. It's the key height and keyslip that I can't
get right yet. The key dip setting should be 10mm which I can barely get if
I have the back rail high enough to fit the key slip correctly (so you can't
see the bottom of the key).

How far does the front rail pin extend into the key?
What is your blow distance and projected dip setting now?
