I didnt say putting small weights on the keys... tho you certainly could do that. I mentioned a variant of the idea Stanwood once told me about (and has been related here a few times by others) of raising the key about 0.2mm just adjacent and behind the balance rail pin. I simply take a strip of gum paper (for shiming flanges) and run it along the back side of the balance rail pins under the paper and cloth punchings. This lowers the action weight ratio just a bit... sometimes enough for 4-5 grams of DW suprisingly enough. It seems to have no real significant affect on the distance ratio because the fulcrum of the key moves forward as usual once the key has traveled about 3/4s of its stroke. Cheers RicB ........... Ric, I'm curious about your method of putting small weights on the keys in front of the balance rail holes. You said you used some kind of tape? Sorry, the previoius e-mail was the victim of a recent mass-deletion... Dave S.
