<BR><BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">I tuned a 1970s Everett Studio the other day. With sustain pedal depressed,
<BR>DownWeight was around 50 to 55 grams. Without depressing the sustain pedal,
<BR>the touchweight skyrocketed to about 95 grams. Clearly this is toooo
<BR>"heavy". Are there any guidelines for both verticals and grands for how much
<BR>downweight the dampers should add??? Thanks.

<BR>The dampers are activating too soon. Adjust the spoons to make sure the
