Seasons greetings to everyone,

I built a damper touch weight jig, thanks to Fred S. I used a low friction bearing and a slide weight.
Very interesting on the pianos I have tried so far. Each piano tells a different story. Last one was a Samick 
Grand and the trichord dampers (not trimmed) were lighter than the rest. My Chichering Grand reads 15 -20 grams
and this action model is at 34 grams.

Regards,
Jack Houweling
