You know what? I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. How funny.

When lining up the keys and strike points, the action is to the right of center. For this same reason, it may be more exaggerated on medium and smaller uprights than on taller ones. Enjoy your new instrument. I'll let Hailun know they had another vote for satin option.
