[CAUT] lighter touchweight

[Jon Page]

How about this one:
Lots of room between front of keys and keyslip. New hammers on new shanks
(17 mm knuckle radius), standard shank length, top treble tone dead. Keyframe
backed into dags, can't slide back to ascertain Strike Point.  Lift 
treble frame
registering pin with screw driver to tilt the hammer back: improves tone.

Ok, the Strike Point (SP) is too far forwards.

Can't slide the frame back unless I remove material from the back 
edge of the frame
but the sharps are already precariously close to the fall board. Hmmmm...
lots of room at the fro=nt of the keys...

So, pull the hammers and set further out on the shanks? Install new h/s/f ?

Look at the stack.  The capstans are center in the treble and muchly rear
of center of the cushions in the bass.  What's that doing for the ratio?

Solution, move the stack back such that the capstan is situated at 
the same position
on the cushion bass -to-treble, move keyframe forwards a sufficient 
amount to tweak
treble SP. The stack moves back a little in the treble and a lot in the bass.
Hammers are no longer raked over missing the centers of the ends of 
the wippens.
Jacks are not buried into the rep stop felts. (also had shim the 
whole stack towards the bass the thickness of veneer).

BTW, this is a Hamburg B.

Assume nothing.  I don't care how many RPT's it previously went through.
