Yamaha U1 touchweight

[Kristinn Leifsson]

What about this,

for increasing leverage on the *whippen*, manipulate the capstan wire (if 
present) in such a way that the capstan touches the whippen closer to you 
than it did before.
Would you think this to be a bad idea?
It wouldn´t have to be really tipped or anything but I wonder if this would 
increase the wear and tear on the overlying felt.
