Yamaha false beat "clips"

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Mark,
             The only clips that I know of, from Yamaha are the 1gm clips
that fit on grand hammer shanks, the were used to increase touch weight.
I don't think they are availiable any longer.
I use a set, to very accurately set repitition springs.
Just a thought.
Roger
