Hi Scott, Thanks for this suggestion. It sure beats individually adjusting each spring with the spring tool (I use John Hart's spring tool - by far one of my most useful and favorite tools!). And thanks to the others who responded! Regards, John Piesik San Diego Chapter PTG JPIESIK@ARINC.COM Jp> tension against the hammer butts?

Jp> John Piesik John, Reach in with the palm of your hand facing the strings and push each spring back toward the strings right at the base where the coil starts. This should weaken them. If you get a cramp you can use the same tool you use to adjust butterfly (Steinway repetition springs). I use a grand damper wire in a small tool handle with a groove filed in the bottom to hold the spring. _ Scott Johnson Auburn, California scott.e.johnson@24stex.com ___ Blue Wave/DOS v2.21 [NR]
