<font size=2 face="sans-serif">thanks, David. I'll be taking those
classes! Do you like the turbo wips? It helped some on one of the other
prof's 70's steinway B.... I just don't like the $850 for them if
I can help it.</font>

<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri">You can’t make decisions
about moving capstans until you know how friction is contributing to your
problem. You shouldn’t make decisions about replacing parts without
an analysis of the action leverage and the weight of the component parts.
If the action was heavy with lots of lead before and you use the
same specs to replace the parts why would you expect anything different?
DW by itself won’t tell you much, you have to check the upweight
as well. Not sure where to start but I wouldn’t look to center pin
lubricants to solve your problems generally. Kansas City is offering
some good classes on this very subject. Good place to start. </font>

I asked Mick about heavy DW on a '79 Steinway B. I just replaced
all hammers and shanks with S&S parts that weighed out the same as
the old ones...just a little heavier since the old ones had been filed
a few times. (I call this Ham-shanks when making notes)</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">

Before DW was over 60g in the bass, and high 50's in the treble. Lots
of lead in the keys. Ugh! (thinking about moving the capstans)</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">

</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
Just for fun, before I left for a couple hours, I McLubed the wippen action
centers. When I came back, the samples I juiced did indeed come down
about 10g!! I'm sure it's just a short term fix, but wondered if
yall have tried this?</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
