Tom. i make new springs with phosphor Bronze wire from Instrument Workshop: http://www.fortepiano.com/thewireplace/PhosBronze/phosbronze.htm I made a spring making tool (jpg attached). I like to make the loop arm 2mm longer so it does not strain at the loop in the rest position. With a longer spring arm, the difference in tension between rest and let off is not as great as with the OEM spring. I have lots of the OEM springs. Take a ride down... :-) -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
