    Just a thought, Should the pinning of the jack be looser than that
    of the wippen so that  jack's needs are taken care first?

Hi Joe

This is exactly the kind of point I was talking about when I said.... 
(more or less) hold on a sec here...  There is no point to simply 
assuming that repinning the rep - lever forces a change in rep lever 
tension in the same direction... i.e. increase/decrease  tension and 
friction.  The point is that you want to end up with all three pins at 
an appropriate level of friction so as to facilitate the primary 
function of the rep lever whippen assembly while not creating either too 
much hammer jump and/or too much key kick.  This also gets into hammer 
weight and key mass. 

In any case... a change of friction of the rep-lever pin in itself does 
not re-direct more of the springs force in one or the other direction. 
And since the end tension of the spring is dependent the whole system 
and not just this pin.... nor does changing the pin dictate any given 
change in spring tension.

Cheers
