[CAUT] tight balancier

[reggaepass at aol.com]

I'll second the motion about 6-8 grams and add that we have found that 
what is 9 grams of rep lever tension today may be less tomorrow.

 Wim,

 Davenport advocates 6-8 grams on the rep lever (a bit more resistance
 than convention). Seems like he even went to nine. I've been doing that
 for about a year now and I really like it. Seems to stabilize the
 regulation more.

 Ed

 this morning on the Concert D, I repinned about 2 dozen balanciers in
 octaves 2 and 3 from about 2 grams up to 6 grams. I had to reset the
 springs so that the hammer just barely moves up on release. The
 bobbling was less than before, but they still do not check on a medium
 to soft blow.

 I checked the resistance on the lowest octave, and they were at 6
 grams already. But they are also still bobbling on a medium blow.
 (They do check on a harder blow). Have you tried increasing the
 resistance to more than 6 grams in the low bass?
