Low Inertia

[David C. Stanwood]

Jim,

I appreciate your thoughtful responses to the list..

I have to comment on your comment that my protocols don't address 
dynamic touch weight...  I know what your addressing is the smoothing 
of front weights but this is not the essence of the Stanwood 
protocol, just part of it.  The main foundation of the Stanwood 
protocol is addressing an appropriate matching of hammer weight and 
ratio.   We know from experience that certain combinations work in 
the dynamic mode and others don't.   Being able to identify the 
weight ratio of the action and picking an appropriate hammer weight 
level or vice versa does address the dynamic playing 
characteristics...

Thanks again,

David Stanwood
