Hi Gene Is this the way the action was originally configured ? With the whippen rail aligned so that the whippen flange centers are not on a parallel line to the capstans ? This is a Knabe right ? Any of you guys over there familiar with Knabes got any good info regarding this ? You are correct in thinking that the whippens will be lifted differently across the key-board in the condition you describe below. That is to say, the capstans will raise equally, but the whippen lever being positioned differently will respond differently. Cheers RicB Right now, the only thing on the action that is paralell to the whippen rail is the hammer rail and maybe the back rail. Capstan line is different in bass and treble by 3mm in relation to the whippen rail - but the line is straight. Balance rail is also different.It makes sense that the constant KR - regardless of the overall key length - would yield a constant rise at the capstan but if the whippen heals are aligned to the whippen rail they will differ slightly in alignment with the capstans by 3mm across the action - changing WW. Am I reading too much into this?
