The key frame is the bridge. A bridge usually crosses a water. It has to be supported by either the two sides of the water or, depending on its length, by a support in the middle, or, a substitute. In our case, we're talking about about a 'bridge', supported by front, balance (middle), and back side. There are some parameters: 1. key height (the factory data) 2. key depth (the factory data) 3. contact with front, balance, and back 4. down pressure of the balance rail 1. The key height is the most important 2. The key depth is very important 3. Contact with front, balance and back is very important 4. Down pressure of the balance rail is an option.
