Richard brings up an interesting point, and one that I felt that was =
missing from this discussion; damper timing. I think that before you go =
to the trouble of regulating damper springs, you had better regulate the =
spoons first. I've seen situations where the touch was VERY uneven, =
until the spoons were regulated. Trouble is, everybody seems to hate =
doing that so much that it's usually the last thing that they try. After =
that, I would put the action in a cradle, pop the springs out to the =
side, and see how they line up. The really strong ones should stick out =
further than the rest. Am I all wet? Come one guys, let me have it. I'm =
a big boy.

    This goes to show, that you learn something new everyday on =
Pianotech. After=20
    25 years in the business, I honestly had never heard of adjusting =
damper=20
    spring tension to adjust touch on a vertical. Thanks for the =
information.=20

  Grin... ok... now I know something is amiss... obviously a failure to =
communicate... we are not useing the word Touch in the same way... =
something... In anycase lets get on the same track so'st , we can clear =
this up ok Wim ?=20
  By way of example... you are in aggreement that if the damper return =
spring is like wayyyy strong this is going to be easily felt by the =
fingers, and that conversly being set as weak as possible will feel like =
a big difference. ??=20

  Related.... we are also in aggreement that the sooner the damper spoon =
is set to come into contact the more apparent the above is ??=20
