Just curious, what is the ratio currently that requires an 11.2 mm dip.  =
I would guess it's down in the low 5's

  Hi David,
                 Quite easy really, change some lines on a drawing, send =
for a trial order, and just like magic the balance rail holes change =
position.  (Grin)
  Once we have settled on what is needed, we will give more details.

      Hi David,

                      Knabe grands have a laminated maple rim, Renner =
action, Italian Ciresa sound board, Canadian Bolduc pin block. Renner =
blue hammers. Mapes bass strings.  They are regulated and voiced in =
California.

      I'm currently working on changing some of the action ratios to =
further improved performance.=20

      Dip is currently at 11.2mm and is being changed to 10mm.

      Very positive response from pianist thus far.  Detailing is the =
best that I have seen from Korea thus far and will get better.

      6ft 4" is reverse engineered from late 20's scale. Will be =
introduced at NAMM.

      But I may be the wrong person to ask.
