Good Advice, but still Nervous

MessageMost pianos have a block of felt glued to the hammer rail felt in
order to stop the rail rise against the action bracket.  This is a
regulation that must be done on all upright actions when you install a new
action.  It is something that was missed at the factory.  Kimball missed
lots of things at the factory.

  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.
