[CAUT] Lighter Touchweight

[Jon Page]

>I'm sorry but the resistance arm of the wippen is to the jack center pin.

Then YOU tell these guys that they're wrong...   (pdf attached)

I have moved many a wippen rail and not had a minimal difference
in touchweight or friction. But move the stack by the same amount and
you'll notice a difference.  Moving the rail aligns the centers, 
moving the stack
alters the Wippen Ratio. Moving the capstan alters KR and Wippen Ratio.
So when relocating the capstans is not viable, look to the stack.

I offered this option since we were speculating (lacking more info) 
on treatment
of these actions.  When regulation or mass alteration does not accomplish
your goal then look a little further.

One sign might be shanks which are not centered over their rest 
cushions or wips
in the bass and low tenor. Once the stack is moved (usually back) the 
realignment
of the hammers to the strings also places the shanks more centered on 
the rest felt.

To me it's just another overlooked aspect.
