Hi Jack Et al, Have you or anyone else seen the key levelling system that utilizes a long screw that goes down through the key button/key onto the back of the balance rail punching? Turning the screw in or out makes the key go up or down. I'd love to get a photograph of this for a class I'm developing: "Off Center Balance Rail Bearings" for PTG Institute 2012 at Bellevue: Regards, David Stanwood >Hello to All, > This leveling system was produced by J.
