Ah Tom, Not so, case in fact. One Yamaha P22 tiped over by overly exuberent high school students moving the piano to the stage for a concert. The fall bent the action bolts up an 1/8" and in servicing the piano I did not catch the problem as the action went back into tis proper position, However the first time someone played FFF the force drove the action up where it stayed until I was called back to fix it. Sort of a head scratcher to find.
