Heavy Playing S&S C

[Newton Hunt]

Hi Richard,

Those down weights are NOT heavy.  Balance weights are "normal".  I think you need to
do a good regulation and then check things out.

Take hammer shanks off and swing them.  Just  because you put dope in them don't
assume they are high.  Measure, measure, measure.  Do the same for the wippen
flanges.  Pull a key sideways and move it up and down against the front pin.  If you
feel any drag at all you need to repolish the pins.

That is not entirely true.  Take a small piece of veneer and slip it behind the top
of the wippen flange.  This will increase the spread a little.  Take up and down
measurements carefully before and after.  what you want is the narrowest difference
between the U & D.  If it disimproves then you are barking up the wrong rail.

It is in the details that make the difference.

Have a nice day.
