This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Dave, This is an update to my last post. I am almost too excited to type. Field tested the new Grand T on a Yamaha spinet today. This is the hammer that I took to Reno to show. The hammer was perfect = with only two of the 4 weights that are available with the hammer. The = weights are solidly attached to the hammer shaft but can be removed to = change the amount of impact. By having the weight attached to the shaft there is a better feel of = solid impact to drive the pin. By having the weight attached to the = handel with a roller bearing and spring , like your hammer, much of the = impact is lost in the handel much like vibrations (energy) leaking past = the capo bar. My hammer is still in the process of design but should be in production = by summers end. I have the major hurdles out of the way with only the = finishing touches to go.

They sent me one of = those adjustable weight levers as is shown in the Schaff catalog. A = rather presumptuous substitution, but I thought I would give it a try on = my own vertical with typical "new piano" pin tightness. With the weight all the way to the end I would bang this thing over = and over without the pin moving. This is not good. Is this particular = lever too light? Is the Mehaffey heavier? Does anyone who has tried both = have any insight? Dave Bunch ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
