The important thing is that the flanges are firm. The best way to check this is to use a straight edge or long shank screw driver and support the shanks and slide it back and forth. You will immediatly see the ones that are too loose because they wiggle. Less friction means more power, lighter touch, faster repetition.

Many of them will swing 8-10 times before coming to a stop; some will swing 11 - 12 and a few 7 times. These are high quality parts from a reputable manufacturer. The humidity in my shop is in the mid 50's. When winter comes and the humidity in the recital hall drops way down won't these be to loose? I was looking for about 3-5 swings in the bass graduating up to about 7 max. in the treble. I am facing a deadline and may need to get another set sent if the manufacturer agrees which will cost me at least 2 days. Would you repin, reorder or what?
