But I think most will agree this is not on the surface of it something one does for a very high quality instrument.  On the other hand, the concept seems quite workable enough, useing a couple different spring types. Del mentioned a bit about some fooling around with some heavy duty valve springs, and there was some talk about leaf springs that seemed reasonable enough. This is one of those things that raises so many eyebrows that its hard to really find out just how usefull the concept can be made to work. Someone is just going to have to check it all out pretty well before we really know I suppose.   -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
