If lead is the way to go, is it feasible to press small bits of solid-core = solder into a drilled hole in the molding? Any advice would be greatly appreciated." Sarah, I just reworked a Weber Square Grand action, that had 1/8th in lead = "slugs" in the hammer tails. It seemed to smooth out the SW of that = beast, a bit.<G> Of course, in th Square Grand the Key Ratio changes = from key to key, so anything to make the darned thing have a more = consistant touch would definately be appropriate!<G> As Weber, was = somewhat of a forerunner in R&D, back in those days, I suspect they were = definately working on the SW. (And here we thought the Action = "Metrology" was a new concept?!<G>) On playing that beast, it did seem = to have a smoother transition from bass to tenor, (where the keys got = longer, AND, in this thing, the keys got THICKER!) Go figger.<G> Best Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain, Tool Police Squares R I ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
