Check your back checks, just a hunch. One thing leads to another.

  hi all

  i'm working on this everett, you see, and i've filed the hammers maybe 1mm or so, and adjusted letoff, but the hammers now have a "blocking" feeling (blocking against the string if you know what i mean). i used the 1/8th 1/16th inch magnetic strips from Schaff or Pianotek as a good place to start for letoff and tried to graduate it from 1/8-1/16. 

  i'm wondering if i've set letoff too close. it's on a teacher's piano, so i'm thinking kids who play lightly might notice it more, too.

  help?
