There are lots of things that you can do with the equation of balance like calculate and analyze Strike Weight Ratio. There is only one thing and one thing only that I ask for myself and that is the process for generating smooth front weight specifications for use in balancing piano keys. That is what the patent claims. I could have just as easily kept quiet and secretive and not share any of this stuff but then when I die it could be lost. That's the beauty and utility of patents. It gets published with the idea that after the patent period is up everyone gets to use it and benefit freely. David Stanwood
