As = expected, the regulation was way, way out of whack. I have no string = height measurements. I wish to rough-regulate that action so that I = don't have to do three days of regulating when I bring it back to the = piano (which is 50 miles away). I'm guessing at string height by setting my let-off rack at the height = where the hammer meets it and the shank is horizontal. I know that might = not be exact, but it should be pretty close. Then I am roughing in key = height/level (65 mm - spec is 64.5 mm), dip (10.2 mm), blow distance (47 = mm) from manufacturers specs. The 10.2 mm dip gives me 1/16" let-off and = 0.025" after-touch (don't you like how I mix metric, english fractions = and decimals together?). So that seems real nice. I also suggests I've = got the action spread correct (113.5 mm). But what seems odd is the = hammers at rest sit low. I've got the hammer rest rail plastered against = the wippen flanges and the shanks just barely clear the rest rail felt. = Also, to get the 10.2 mm dip, I have to remove all the punchings under = the front rail felt. My guess is the ample punchings that were there = were original - and presumably the action worked. Just seems like = something is not quite right, and I'm not comfortable with such a = divergence from what seemed to work originally. Am I perhaps giving the = original manufacture of this piano (about 1990) too much credit - or am = I missing something? Thanks for any thoughts.
