Bob, I've had great fun with the paper clamps (binder type) from Pianotek and office supply stores. Just clamp it on, and remove the wire from the binder. Instant weight and power change. The cool thing is that it's reversible, quick, and cheap...... AND.... you'll find out if the player is really thinking "light", or "fast". If it's just too fast, well..... for a particular player you can turn some front pins, y'know. The thing is.... if you change the action "permanently", you're stuck. The next player may ask if you can "speed it up" at the last minute! I'm not suggesting you cheap out, on general principles, I'm just saying it's a good idea to make sure the target is in focus, and not just a reflection from someone else's eyes. later, Guy At 07:13 PM 12/29/2004 +0100, you wrote: >Sounds to me like a job for some good ol Stannwood analysis and reworking. > >If you are familiar with his measurment methodology, please supply us with >the details > >Cheers >RicB > >rkd0930@comcast.net wrote: > >>I have a friend who runs a small concert center.
