a very

assume you
do this in<BR>> reverse - put damper pedal down, put a weight on the =
key, and
see how much<BR>> weight is sitting on the key as it begins to =
rise?<BR>>
<BR>> Are you saying, that by removing friction (cleaning pins, using =
teflon<BR>> powder on knuckes, protech on hammer lever flanges) to =
adjust
the<BR>> downweight, that if the ratio of upweight to downweight is =
not
correct, then<BR>> the problem will reoccur when the friction
returns?<BR>> <BR>> This is a Boston grand action on a 7 foot =
piano - only
two years old. I<BR>> thought these things were designed by =
Steinway
and built by Kawai and<BR>> supposed to be good. Am I still =
missing
something here? Thanks for the<BR>> responses.<BR>> <BR>> =
