Brekne and Seiler Grand

Hey there David ! I aggree... not much we can do about things right
now... perhaps when the time comes we will have more to do then we can
handle...but for now pianos is about what is in front of me to do.

As for the Seiler. I decided on another straight forward job. I will
even out the new hammers weights so that there SW curve starts around
11,7 grams and end at about 5,4. Looking at a SWR of around 6.0 and
useing the maximum FW's recommended by David. This will also mean a non
whippen assist spring configuration.

The main reason I want to do this is to gain a bit more practice at
approaching the job from this angle. Basically I am specifying a SW
curve for voicing concerns and BW for touchweight prefered by the
instructor. Using the maximum front weight table included in the
Stannwood kit assures then that the resulting SWR will be appropriate
for the selected SW curve.

I think later on when I get liscensed and get a bit more experience
under my belt I will be able to decide on a lower FW table to reduce
mass, while otherwise still accomplishing what I want with regards to
SWs. Tho I think its going to be hard to avoid at some point using
whippen assist springs. I know a lot of you guys like them, and I dont
dislike them... its just that I want to first work without them for a
while.

Hope this answers your question. Hammers are all bored, and I will be
starting the installation next week when the instructor is away for a
few days.
