Andrew You've gotten some "good" recommendations already, so I won't give you any more of those. I had a Weaver once, and I tried all sorts of things to make it play better, but decided that there just wasn't anything that can be done. Just accept the fact that Weaver spinets have a very heavy action, and let it go at that. If it's your piano that you're trying to sell, maybe someone will come along and like the heave touch. If it's a customer's, tell him/her the truth, and if he/she doesn't like it, to get another piano.

I could use any help you folks can provide. The patient is a Weaver spinet with pot metal(?) bi-level rocker arms. Schaff part 3782 pg 130. The down weight is north of 140 grams for much of the piano and up wieght is 20 - 30 ish. What if anything can be done? I love creative solutions and am not afraid of doing some significant surgery if necessary. But since leading the keys is not going to help here I am not sure where to go next. Thanks for anything you can do. -- Andrew Remillard ANRPiano.com 2211 Curtiss St. Downers Grove, IL 60515 630-852-5058 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
