<div>With a rep spring adjustment tool, dislodge the spring and move
it to the side</div>
<div>to clear the jack rest button and push it down, probably to touch
the wippen</div>
<div>support.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>One reason for high spring tension is high hammer weight. Taper
and square</div>
<div>the tails to the shank, this will necessitate an even lighter
spring tension, it</div>
<div>helps for touchweight as well.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The last two Samicks I worked on, I tapered and re-arced the
tails and</div>
<div>graduated the weight. Moved the knuckle out to 18 mm and moved
the</div>
<div>stack back about 3 mm. They play like a Yamaha now
:-)</div>

<div>Oh yeah, Cresendo front rail punchings were the<i> piece de
resistance</i>.</div>
