There should not be any difference between bass and treble. I don't know what an acceptable reading would be, because I've never measured one. As I said,?test about a dozen flanges, and take an average.

I have a gram gauge (the cheap one). ? All of those who took Potter's Course, will know that he taught the swinging hammer way.? I.e. four to six swings was adequate.? But with the cord, I find that hard to do accurately. ? Thank you. TODD PIANO WORKS Matthew Todd, Piano Technician (979) 248-9578 http://www.toddpianoworks.com Can't afford a new spring wardrobe?
