    One reason for the piano having excess lost motion after being =
serviced by several apparently experienced techncians is that this piano =
has a "compressed" action, which seems to require more lost motion than =
most to get reliably consistent repetition.  It could be also that the =
type of material on the hammer butt is rougher than usual, and does not =
allow the jacks to get back under as quickly.  In the future I will be =
more aware of the possible need for more lost motion than usual in this =
type of action.  As for the issue of  changing the touch through =
adjusting lost motion, I  frankly have never had anyone before have a =
negative reaction to my doing this.  Usually, if they notice, the owner =
is happy with the increased responsiveness, and elimination of problems =
like bobbling hammers.  Well, as they say, live and learn.=20

    Patrick,, don't change your conception of the correct way to set up =
an upright based on this particular instrument. It's a good tool to put =
in your mental toolbox for future emergencies, but I wouldn't bet on it. =

    You had a customer who didn't like your returning her piano to it's =
proper condition based on how it felt to her. That's the only info you =
need to reflect on.=20
