Greetings, 

           The jacks' and hammers' center pinning on this old Janssen upright 
are pretty good for its age. Are you saying that if  the center pinning (on 
the hammers?) or 
(jacks?) gets any looser by more wear that these springs arent a good idea. I 
am thinking that if I replace these without repinnning everything, and the 
piano gets more wear to the pins there could be a future problem? Perhaps I 
should leave well enough alone?
By the way, by the looks of this one, Janssen made a reeely fine upright!
