Greetings, 

          Sounds like good mechanical feel, logic, gut instinct and knowledge 
all working together to me. Makes sense.

Forever, I've been gram weighing all new parts and marking therein. Repinning 
where necessary and installing the greatest friction parts to the bass end 
and graduating to the lowest, (within specs.<G>), in the treble. The last grand 
action I did, I decided to put the lowest in the bass and graduate to the 
highest in the treble. The action felt/played just fine. !!?? My thinking, (if you 
could call it that.<G>), was that in order to get the hammer moving, in the 
bass, less "action friction" would get the big uns moving faster, thus 
off-setting the size of the hammers. In terms of UW/DW, I found that the action was 
more consistant from bottom to top. Hmmm?
Have I stumbled onto something here, or is it "olde-timer's disease" kicking 
in?!! OR, am I just messed up in my rationale?
Would like to know your thinking on this.
