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. 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. 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. 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. 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.     David Love wrote: <blockquote TYPE=CITE><style></style> Richard: Even amidst all this turmoil I feel the need to try and recapture some sense of normalcy.  Tell me, what did you decide to do about the Seiler weight problem. David Love</blockquote> -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
