[pianotech] hammer return noise

[William Truitt]

That one has happened to me too.  You are talking about the adjustment screw
for the rep lever for the jack height in the window.  Cure was to raise the
hammer line slightly higher or the hammer rest rail up a tad.

In all the posts haven't seen this mentioned. ---Sorry I don't know the name
of the metal stopper that sits above the repetition lever near the wippen
flange. But I have had a few situations in the past where the hook stopper
on the wippen was too high and the hammer dipped down low enough on return
to touch that piece before being stopped by the hammer rest rail.  You can
check it simply by leaving hammer at rest -- push the shank down. Check the
clearance both visually and aurally.
