I am taking the opportunity once again to ask a series of questions regarding the regulation of the various pedals, in particular:

LEFT Pedal: according to the manual, when the pedal is pressed, the hammers must approach the strings at a distance of 2/3 (so from 45 mm to 32 mm). To achieve this, after adjusting the let-off using the pedal regulation screw, I am left with a significant amount of play to recover between the rod and the lifting bar. How should I proceed? What is the correct amount of play?

RIGHT Pedal: here the pedal regulation screw should allow me to lift the dampers to 6-7 mm from the strings when the pedal is fully depressed. Correct?

Thank you for the answers!

Screw the right pedal screw further as much as necessary to bring the hammers forward so that the straps do not have to move.

The adjustment of the right pedal is subjective. The important thing is that it has a certain amount of play in the pedal before release.
