Defining terms was RE: Unison slump

[Alan]

Joe:

I thought by "leveling" you meant making a sharper break (removing string
curl) at the v-bar/capo/agraffe. Are you referring to something else or are
we speaking two different piano languages? 

As long as we are clarifying, I assume you mean "hammer to strings" or
"strings to hammer" when you say "mate." Yes?

When you speak of shifting keys (una corda, transposing), I think of
"centering" hammers as part of "mating" hammers.

I might be confused. Would NOT be the first time. <G>

No, that is seldom needed,  as there are very few uprights that  shift  the
action. I have only seen one. And that was on a transposing action. Joe Goss
