Since we all seem to agree that these springs are to tight, please do your part and communicate that message to Lloyd Meyer. I only know of a few of us who have complained about this but if more people said something they would change the wire gauge. I also want to see all of the shanks thinned as well, but I don't fret that much over the loose pinning because I would have to check everything anyway. As long as the pinning is consistant, I can repin them quickly. Those of us who use somewhat lighter hammers have an even bigger grievance about those springs. I find that they are all too strong, not just in the treble. Dennis Johnson St. Olaf College
