Spring fever (or feverish springs)

Ed ... Two Ed's are not better than one. LOL  I see what you wrote and just
disagree.
I still feel a fast rise after check is best for performance...not a "strong"
spring but a properly set spring.  Would love to see at what speed you are
setting rise.  I wonder how far off we set our actions.  Many times I feel we
split hairs on the list.  I have had the very same reaction to regulating work
by performers....who is right?

<<    Also,  with the softer settings, the drop can be set at let-off
distance,
 further increasing the sensitivity of the action at pianissimo levels of
play.
 This is important when you have the let-off set to just barely miss the
 excursion limits of the string.  
    Perhaps for the average-use instrument, strong springs allow fewer service
 calls , but for ultimate performance, they get in the way.
