Hiya folks,
another simpleish question for your consideration
Some time back I changed the pallet facings on my Hohner Lucia IV P. I did pay some attention to getting the keys at the same height but was more concerned with reducing air leaks. Now it's a few months later and it's probably time to level the keys more accurately (I've reached music with glissandos).
I do know how to bend the rods etc, I even made the correct tools, but the question is what height should I set the keys at ?
Here's what it looks like currently:
And the key travel at the end is about 7mm:
I originally used a long ruler across the frame to check the level, which should be ok if I do it more carefully.
I'm currently thinking of reducing the travel slightly to 6mm, so keys just below the level of the frame.
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Cheers
Gareth.
