PTG >Santa Clara, California >cmpiano@home.com I would like to mention something about the attachment of the clip-on lead weights. They should not be 'hung'_off_the back of the backcheck. This has a tendency to lift the front of the key higher than the weight of the action would, giving it a false height. They should be 'hung'_on_the front side of the backcheck. The action will fit better into the action cavity.
