The flange itself has no bearing on the strike weight.    <DIV> David Love davidlovepianos@comcast.net www.davidlovepianos.com </DIV> -----Original Message----- From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of Keith Roberts Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2008 6:07 PM To: College and University Technicians Subject: Re: [CAUT] Shank to Hammer weight spreadsheet   <DIV> My question is, if you are weighing the whole shank and flange, how do you know the distribution of the difference in weight? If 90% of the weight difference is from the knuckle through the flange, the SW wouldn't change much and so the presumed evening out of the weights is not there. The distribution of the mass could vary from shank to shank at all the different weights.</DIV> <DIV>  </DIV> <DIV> I like the idea of listening to the sound of the shanks. A thinner light shank should produce a higher sound. Very quick too. </DIV> <DIV>  </DIV> <DIV> Keith Roberts</DIV> <DIV> On Feb 16, 2008 5:48 PM, Jon Page <<A href="mailto:jonpage@comcast.net">jonpage@comcast.net</A>> wrote: <DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-TOP: 5pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 5pt" type="cite">   It takes too long.  Just dry fit the hammers to the shanks</BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-TOP: 5pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 5pt" type="cite"> right after you've tapered them with the table saw ...</BLOCKQUOTE> <DIV>  </DIV> <DIV> I don't think you get the idea.
