[pianotech] pianotech Digest, Vol 37, Issue 25

[Joseph Garrett]

David,
Ah yes! I noticed that, but considered because of what I was looking at,
that that was original. Looking at it again, I see that the jack(s) are to
far into the butt, and probably makes the let-off harder than intended. I
would say the center line of the jack should be in direct line with the \/
of the butt. (the computer "\/" is steeper than the actual butt "point",
but hopefully you get my point.<G) Thanks again, for the enlightenment.
Joe
