The piano has assist springs in the bass notes only... a total of 22. The job is finished actaully.. I just posted suprise over how totally uneven the frontweights had origionally been. As far as the bass with assist springs... I chose the easy way out actaully... I simply weighted the FW's to Stanwoods max weights guideline figures minus 10 grams. In other words I chose to let the assist springs do 10 grams of work each. Which is about a third of what they had been origionally doing. Balance weight on this action is now pretty even at 40 grams. David Love wrote: > Richard: > > Doesn't this piano have assist springs?

As said... the front weight problem origionated at the factory. > It is possible that the KR is > different between the sharps and naturals, I have seen that many times and > that will account for differences. Yes I have seen that too...but that was not the case here. Actually that was one of the only real consistants in this whole action. All 88 keys were at 0.52.....well ok... a few were at a weak 0.53. > > > David Love > > - Cheers -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway mailto:rbrekne@broadpark.no
