In theory, with the hole shifted to the front, the key is automatically going downhill when played. Also theoretically... with a flat platform/punching, as you play the key, the balance point moves toward the player side of the punching and the key actually rises up on the balance pin. I can imagine that the harder/thinner the punching/key bottom, the more likely this effect is to move from theoretical to actual. How much this effect actually matters? Dunno.
