  Dean,
  Just finished surveying/tuning/fiddling with a YC with the same darned =

the Jack Regulation Stop Felt. It is way too hard. I perused it and all =
are the kind of felt that some use for understinging felt or key end =
felt. Waaaayyy to darned hard. The only solution I can think of is to =
replace with a much softer punching. Anyone else, have thoughts? BTW, =
this is a Pramberger Series, that should be better, IMO. I wasn't =
impressed.
