rep springs

Hello,

When you regulate the springs, in any direction, you have to gently massage
(the other direction) them so they stabilize. That settle the metal
immediately, as it will do naturally itself with a little time (leaving the
springs less strong than you regulated them in a short time).

That is may be a part of the problem you had.

Beside , having the springs so low than repetition is poor is very rare. And
the pinning is changing of course too.

Regards.

  I have been taught (and it says so in the regulation manuals), that the
rep springs should be adjusted so that there is a "gentle rise," when you
let up on the key. This winter I regulated all of the main pianos in the
school, including the piano faculty pianos, with the rep spring set to give
me that "gentle rise." Now, all of a sudden, piano players are complaining
about poor repetition, and when I check out the pianos, there is almost no
rise at all.

  Once upon a time I heard that the springs will change with the change in
weather. But what is happening? How come all of my rep springs are flat?
Inquiring minds want to know.
