Ric Brenke has always advocated using a lighter jack spring. Since he hasn't posted lately I just thought I would chime in for him. ;-) Dean Dean May cell 812.239.3359 PianoRebuilders.com 812.235.5272 Terre Haute IN 47802 -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of John Dorr Sent: Monday, January 19, 2009 1:33 PM To: piano tech list Subject: [pianotech] Young Chang Upright Jack Springs - a choice to make Hello list, I'm soon to be replacing ALL of the jack springs in a 20 (or so) year old Young Chang upright. I wrote about it earlier and the consensus was that the original springs get weak after 15 years or so. So I ordered a bag (100) of standard upright springs and a bag of (100) spinet springs. The spinet springs are lighter and seem a better match to the originals, so I'm inclined to use them. Your thoughts? Thanks in advance, y'all! John Dorr Helena, MT
