Grand Touch

[Roger Jolly]

Hi David,
                  With an average up weight of 28gms, I would seriously 
doubt  there is too much lead in the keys.  Too much lead tends to give you 
an up weight of 50% or less.
I know an over generalization.  <G>
My money is still going to be on the balance rail hole.  The problem is far 
more endemic than we think.

Regards Roger
