<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>> There certainly is a lot of name =
dropping as
to authenticate what is <BR>> so and what isn't concerning correct =
hammer
flange pinning, and there <BR>> are various concepts presented as to =
how
tight or loose these hammer <BR>> flanges should or not =
be.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I dropped the name "Roger Jolly" not to =
authenticate anything, but rather to provide a reference for =
published
writings on the subject for anyone that might be interested in pursuing =
the
matter. And BTW, I think that I have been the only one to "drop" a
name.<BR> <BR>> If I were seeking correct information from =
authoritative
sources what <BR>> is correct about this subject, it would appear on =
the
surface this is <BR>> not the place to get it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That may well be true. But is this not =
a forum
for discussion? Are we not discussing hammer flange pinning =
friction? Seems
like a good discussion to me. I like seeing different ideas. Even if =
some are
wrong. ;-)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Geeeezzzzzzz - at least its about
pianos!!!!!!<BR> <BR>> Now no disrespect intended, but I find it =
somewhat amusing that so <BR>> many persons assert to have the =
answer, yet
there is not relative <BR>> sameness in those answers.</FONT></DIV>
