Dennis, Regarding your contradictions with strike motion ratio. I want to spend some time and clarify some things, but I'm just leaving for the NE Regional to teach for the weekend. Let me just say that the numbers I used in responding to Ken's Pre-vs-Post 84 repetition discussion were hypothetical and for the sake of discussion only! In other words I don't use Strike motion ratio in my work. All my work in the real world is with weight ratios relative to the touchweight measurement position at the front of the key. As I said I'll respond more deeply to all this when I get back. All I can say is I'm glad for the discussion on these issues. It's so important!! Be back Monday. In the mean time review my post on the strike weight/ratio. That's the information that's meant to be put to practical use. David S.
