Ken Slaone rote, 1/22: <<In my post that prompted the replies above, I said, "Here at Oberlin, we have experimented with different up weight/down weight/friction range/lead position (close to balance rail or close to front of key)/etc. combinations", and (I may add) we are always using touch weights to analyze mass and friction in the various actions here.>> This is very valuable experience. It would be great if you could get a grant from the the PTG Foundation or some academic source, to write all of this up an a paper. It was a geat suggestion of yours to your adminsitrator, to hire another tuner so that you could be freed up to work in this other area.
