Hi Stan,

Greatest respect accepted...

This comes from  my experience with Korean pianos.   Heavy 
hammers!  What happen to the beginning of my post?  Downweight - 
upweight divided by 2 will give you the friction.  That is  
the first thing to check just as I posted.  He will have his 
general friction ratio (as you say 12 to 15 grams is OK).   At 
that point he will have a good idea if it is friction or weight 
problem or both.  The focus of my post was simply "I bet it is a 
weight problem" nothing more!   By the way I am no more 
clairvoyant than you or anyone who posts to this list.
