List, I've scheduled a regulation job next week for a customer with an older Steinway L. The damper underlevers have the helper springs and they seem to be adjusted too tight. Without one of the gram resistance gauges, is there any way to set/adjust the tension on these springs? I'm also assuming the entire underlever assembly will have to be removed to do this. Am I correct in that? All the dampers are lifing way too soon and will have to be regulated anyway, so it wouldn't be that much more work to go ahead and remove the tray, if necessary. Just another one of those "things" I have never had to do before! Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, the very recent discussion on trimming trichord/wedge felt that is extending too far below the strings is also going to come in very handy. Newton Hunt and Jeff Hickey's posts will be just what I need. Now if I can just find $60.00 to spare for a pair of barber's shears! <G> _____________________________________ Avery Todd, RPT Moores School of Music University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-4893 713-743-3226 atodd@uh.edu _____________________________________
