Sorry I didn't mean curve in the strikeweight line. (Duh). =20
I meant the curve in the ratio line. Regulation could=20
affect DW/UW which is used to calculate ratio.
This would show up as curve in the BW line.

The ratio line actually corresponds pretty well to=20
how the action feels when it is played.  Most=20
normal in tenor and low treble, heavy in bass
and higher treble.

I will recheck some strikeweights with tail down,=20
but if the tail is in line with the strike point and=20
shank is horizontal (i.e. horizontal distance=20
from center pin is same) why would weights=20
not be the same?

Initially I didn't spend much time checking=20
dip and blow and checked only a couple of=20
notes.  Obviously its an issue so I will look=20
at this more to get a complete picture.

    I think it's probably a regulation issue that is causing the curve =
in the strikeweight line.Perhaps I need to re-regulate and remeasure =
DW/UW.  I'll definitely look into it further.
  Mark, since the SW's are taken completely independant of the action =
and its regulation, this cant be a regulation issue. The Strike Weights =
weigh what they do. Perhaps you should get your local Touchweight tech =
to take a look at things eh ?=20
