<DIV><FONT size=2>Good luck with this approach. I am coming to =
the
opinion that wippen assist springs should only be used when they are
accompanied by an adjustment screw. Unfortunately, they are not =
readily
available with that configuration yet. I know Tokiwa has one in
place. Hopefully, Renner will follow.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hey there David ! I aggree... not much we can do =
about things
right now... perhaps when the time comes we will have more to do =
then we can
handle...but for now pianos is about what is in front of me to do.
<P>As for the Seiler. I decided on another straight forward job. I =
will even
out the new hammers weights so that there SW curve starts around =
11,7 grams
and end at about 5,4. Looking at a SWR of around 6.0 and useing the =
maximum
FW's recommended by David. This will also mean a non whippen assist =
spring
configuration.
<P>The main reason I want to do this is to gain a bit more practice =
at
approaching the job from this angle. Basically I am specifying a SW =
curve
for voicing concerns and BW for touchweight prefered by the =
instructor.
Using the maximum front weight table included in the Stannwood kit =
assures
then that the resulting SWR will be appropriate for the selected SW =
curve.
<P>I think later on when I get liscensed and get a bit more =
experience under
my belt I will be able to decide on a lower FW table to reduce mass, =
while
otherwise still accomplishing what I want with regards to SWs. Tho I =
think
its going to be hard to avoid at some point using whippen assist =
springs. I
know a lot of you guys like them, and I dont dislike them... its =
just that I
want to first work without them for a while.
<P>Hope this answers your question. Hammers are all bored, and I =
will be
starting the installation next week when the instructor is away for =
a few
days. <BR> <BR>
