Maybe that is the necessary compensation for the change in friction. Keith Roberts On Thu, 11 Mar 2004 11:07:05 -0500, Sarah Fox wrote > Hi Keith, > > <<I go with a four gram flange friction target.

Since this is the traditional approach to hammer flange friction (which apparently has worked well), my guess would be that flange friction *should* be graduated from bottom to top, as you suggest. Using a spring gauge, you would probably need to graduate between the two ends of the keyboard, so that the top has approximately half the friction of the bottom.
