Thanks Ron,

That's another piece of the puzzle I need to understand.  Speaking of
understanding, I was pretty easily convinced off line that I should be
studying towards an integrated understanding of grand action relationships
instead of memorizing steps to accomplish regulation.  In the practice I
have already done, I've experienced that if things start to go wrong during
regulation, my only tool to fix things is to start the sequence all over.
So, help me out here, what source or study method can I use to gain this
understanding?

>You're not there to learn to regulate action models. You're there using
a model to try to learn to regulate a real piano action. Al's suggestion
related to real pianos. Perspective...

>Otherwise, since check height will affect hammer rise, I'd make sure of
going over rep spring strength again after setting checking. Yes, I
know, you should be looping through the process until everything checks
out. The point isn't to do all the procedures through three iterations,
but to check all procedures and do them again as necessary until you
can't find anything wrong enough by your standards to mess with.
Whatever you do, there will always be someone who thinks it's not good
enough, and someone who thinks you're wasting time taking it that far.
You'll never know what's "right", but you can try to correct everything
that appears to be wrong. The end user will decide how you did.
