I arrived today for a regulation job at customer's house. Took a = quick tour of the action with my fingers, and proclaimed the action a = mess. Let off appeared to be about a half an inch from the strings, = Drop was really low and keys were pretty much evenly low from factory = spec, but just slightly, dip was a very fat 3/8". But here's the weird = thing that caught me off guard for a few mystifying moments: The hammers = were already adjusted to be a 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" and were pretty much in a = good straight line.=20 Yikes! I thought. Where am I going to get enough whippen lift = from??? OK, that was the quickie analysis. What was wrong with the = action set up as it was? Original hammers, and not too worn, by the way.
