Hi Mike, Two questions 1. Do they bounce equally as bad with the dampers on as off the strings. 1. Where is the lead? In front or behind the balance rail pin?

The keys bounce after you let go and you can feel it in your fingers when playing. Nothing worked, including backrail cloth and it did have a ton of lead in the keys. Someone in my Chapter suggested the wip cushions may be too hard, and they were. I turned the stack over and steamed them and it removed the dimples and softened them up. It did help noticeably but the problem is still there. Mike Mike McCoy Cy Shuster wrote: Could new back rail cloth help prevent bounce? I'm thinking that worn cloth would be like bouncing right off the wood, where new cloth would give more cushioning... --Cy-- shusterpiano.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
