37 steps

[Alan Barnard]

I concur. Actually, Potter (The Randy Potter School of Witchcraft and Piano Technology) does nicely stress the importance of, how shall we say, cyclical adjustments, i.e., going back to previous steps at certain points. Don Mannino, Roger Jolly (where's he been lately?), and others also stress this in their classes.

I don't know about Potter or Reblitz, but if you regulate according to the Yamaha 37 steps you'll have some problems. Spring strength affects almost every other regulation point; if you don't do it very precisely first, and then refine it later on, thing will change, and not for the better; wrong spring strength (too little or too much) will blur and confuse the feeling of the other precise regulation protocols.


Blow distance, some aftertouch, then spring strength. Foist and fawmost, kiddies. Balance is the key.
