Good Advice, but still Nervous

MessageYou can limit the pedal travel in one of two ways: You can put a =

it to stop, or you can do the same thing between the  hammer rail and =
one of the struts.  Most likely, the Kimball originally tried to do the =
first method, but it's become worn, and may need to be re-done.

  I have a client who's Kimball Console piano hammer rail has too much =
travel when the soft pedal is fully depressed.  In other words, it gets =
too close to the strings, making the keys play very sloppily and =
inconsistent.

  I have received good advice from my mentor regarding how to limit the =
forward movement of the hammer rail, but I am still nervous on how to =
combat the problem and eliminate the excess travel.

  The customer has indicated that when the pedal is pushed down 1/2 way, =
she can play the piano with much better consistency...it feels better, =
not so sloppy.

  Does anyone have any suggestions for this situation?

  Thank you.
