Mike is, I belive, saying "less inertia relative to putting leads out on the end of the key" I dont think he is saying that more weight period results in less inertia... that would be silly.... :) Richard Moody wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Mike and Jane Spalding <mjbkspal@execpc.com> > To: <pianotech@ptg.org> > Sent: Monday, April 02, 2001 3:35 PM > Subject: Re: Keylead inertia and leverage (was Re: Ideal leading > pattern:) > > > Ric, > > > > This is one of those counterintuitive concepts: how can more weight > result > > in less inertia? > > Please tell me where I said "more weight will result in less interia". > I believe I said. > QUOTE "More weight will require MORE interia" > > Once again let me say, It seems to me the heaver the key the more > inertia required to move it.
