List, is there a way to ease the jack spring? I have problems with a Yamaha P121N upright that has bobbling hammers. The hammer butt is dancing on the jack tip. All regulation measures are okay and there is enough aftertouch. I suspect the jack spring being too strong. Any thoughts how to get it right? There is no lost motion, check is about 15 mm, aftertouch is okay and I gave some talkum powder to the jack tip and the let off button. The only thing that helped was to set the let off to 10 mm, but that´s not a satisfying solution. The strange thing is that one could play without bobbling hammers but something makes the player stop pressing down the key before the let off point. A very subtile resistance gives the player a hint that the key is pressed down now, but that´s not right. The player could and should press further on. The strange thing is that this problem is new for a few days. I should mention that we had very dry air last weeks and the customer has a floor heating. Therefore I suspect a connection between this problem and the dry air. Any comments?
