Shank/Flange Weights

The .html did not produce what I wanted it to.
But hammer weight on 19 was 10.2 and 20 was 9.6.

That .5 g difference can be narrowed by the judicious placement of the 
appropriate SW shank.
A lighter 1.6 on 19 and a heavier 2g shank on 20 bring the resultant SW's 
to 11.8 & 11.6.

in general, the heavier shanks are in the bass but according to where the 
mose weight is needed, the heaviest shanks
may end up in the middle. It all depends on the weight graduation of the 
set of hammers and the ultimate SW curve desired.
