Samick grand

[Dean May]

Get one of the Hart spring regulators that Schaff and others sell. You'll
get the hang of using it with some practice and it won't be such a hill of a
job.

Ron,

In addition to adjusting the screw--which is meant to be a fine
adjustment--it is necessary to strengthen or weaken the spring itself to get
it in the ballpark.

I have a Samick grand that I just reggulated.  All through it, the
repetition springs were too strong.  You could feel them kick the key, all
through the keyboard.  The problem was that the adjustment screw was at the
lowest setting and it didn't seem to make much difference.  When I put the
action back into the piano, it clicks pretty bad.    

 

On note #1, I actually took the spring out, weakened it and put it back in
the whippen.  It works great but was a nuissance to re-install.  I'm deading
doing this to the whole keyboard.

 

Anyone have any better ideas?

 

thanks

Ron
