Jiffy weights to increase touchweight

[Don]

Hi Julia,

Get some brass chain. Sew it into a long sleeve (we don't want you to clank
like Marley's ghost!) Place it near the capstans on your U3. If it is not
heavy enough then add a second one. This will leave your Yamaha in pristine
condition and allow you to "exercise" your fingers. YMMV.

I suppose you could also simply get binder clips (big heavy ones) and
fasten to each of the capstans. That would allow for a more even touch than
the chain.
