It should be noted that in talking about similar old Bechstein actions, I was speaking of the spring and loop that Lim's photos show, as being IN ADDITION to the normal jack spring. There were plenty of old "spring and loop" type actions that had an arrangement like this INSTEAD of a jack spring under the jack heel. Those don't, in my experience, regulate well or feel good; not least, I suppose, because the actions are very old and tend to have been put in cheapo pianos to start with. Lim, your photos don't really show the jack heel - are there normal jack springs under there? Best regards, David. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
