Action Elevations

[Brian Trout]

Hi Richard,

It's been a long time since I've been on the list but just resubscribed.

Interesting conversation about rake angles, keybed angles, string angles, 
hammer shank length, hammer bore, etc.

It's interesting to hear people refer to a particular action dimension as 
"written in stone", as in don't ever change that!  But when it comes right 
down to it, for those willing to think things through, it's all one great 
big balancing act, a series of levers, basically.  A change in one will 
change the rest.  A particular dimension may be ideal within a given set of 
parameters... but totally wrong when one or more of those other parameters 
change.

It's like a big ol' algebra equation.  Change one thing, you've changed the 
whole thing.  Different isn't necessarily wrong.

(I confess I haven't read the article you refer to, but would like to have a 
look.  Which issue of the Journal is Bob H's article in?)

Take care,

Brian Trout
