Key Ratio alteration may also be needed (moving capstans). Pre-tension the assist springs to just support the wippen while installing. Then by adjusting the assist spring tensioning screw, to produce the desired Balance Weight, it takes about 45 minutes for the keyboard. I also remove the dog-leg from the butterfly spring with a pair of wire bending pliers made from lineman pliers. In one operation it introduces a nice curve to the wire which rides the Teflon nut and places the contact point more towards the front of the wip giving a longer spring arm.
