Avery,

I've been following this thread and am very interested in the information
that you have and offered to Carol...I would be very interested in seeing
the information also.  Could you make it available to all?  If not could you
send me a copy?  Thanks in advance.

  Carol,

  I have a few things I've saved from previous discussions on this. I'll
send
  it to you as an attached Word document if you'd like. Primarily basics
like
  Journal article dates, links to David's drawings/pictures, etc.

  I also have a bunch of posts about weighing the shanks/flanges, hammers,
  placement of them, etc. I could put that together too, if you'd like.
  Let me know.

  Avery

    Through the years I have sat through David Stanwood's classes on this
    subject, so I will now try to find my notes and class handouts.  I never
had
    a reason before to really know about touch weight until now when pianos
will
    be replaced or not on my say so. I like being able to make decisions
based
    upon concrete, mathematical data - not brand names!  I will also go to
the
    church and measure the touch weight on the piano my client finds
appropriate
    so we can compare numbers on other pianos.  Apparently, it no longer is
    enough that a piano action feels fine to the person buying the piano if
it
    can change radically after purchase!

    My thanks to all who have given their imput, and I am quite ready to
receive
    more advice and pointed in the right directions to learning all I need
to
    know about friction and balance weight in piano actions.

    Carol Beigel
