No, I do not measure down weight through let off but I meant that, generally
speaking, a piano gets faster after a CLP treatment on all centers.
First because all centers move easier in their bushings, and not only one
way but two ways : key down, key up.
Plus the given that when you spray McLube on the spring lever, let off and
hammer drop become less noticeable...they are there but they are less clear,
less noticeable.
That's why clp-ing and lubing all centers and all friction causing parts in
general is a dangerous matter.....the action turns into a very slippery
slide.
