37 steps---delayed response

Seems to me you've put the spring tension third, not first, kiddie...

So---people responded to my spring strength warning with the old "when you do rounds of regulation it all gets done" brush-off.

When was the last time a real-world, paid situation allowed you to do "rounds of regulation?" Please. 





My point was, and is, this:

If you're looking for biggest radical positive change in the shortest possible time, DO THE SPRING STRENGTH FIRST, AND PRECISELY, or the other regulation points will not be stable, or end up where you want them. Period. And the impact of your work will be diminished. That's the cold-light-of-day truth; the person who puts in the foundational SMART work and uses his or her years of homework and experience to quickly and intuitively diagnose and execute the best signal path will win. Every time. 





Humph. Rounds of regulation, my a**. <g>

I don't know about Potter or Reblitz, but if you regulate according to the Yamaha 37 steps you'll have some problems. Spring strength affects almost every other regulation point; if you don't do it very precisely first, and then refine it later on, thing will change, and not for the better; wrong spring strength (too little or too much) will blur and confuse the feeling of the other precise regulation protocols.
