I posed the question of seasonal capstan adjustments to Kenzo many years ago. He indicated there is a compromise between quiet operation and susceptibility to vagaries of weather. Stability on one end of the stick and instability on the other. Rigidity and flexibility. Yamaha chose to go for quiet operation and allow the technician to care for the capstans. In any process of design and fabrication there have to be compromises made and decisions to make. -- Newton Hunt Highland Park, NJ mailto:nhunt@jagat.com
