Dear list, Speaking of which, I am about to do a quick fix on a 40s Story & Clark that has general downweight readings around 30 grams (upweights are low but not that bad,considering). The owner is an organist, so he doesn't mind, but his kids are starting to take lessons and something needs to be done. I have not reweighted a set of keys like this before, and I'm asking for advise to make the task go more smoothly. I may use jiffys or keyleads in back. I'm planning on taking some touchweight measurements to get an idea, but should I draw a line for all the keys, or, section by section? Average it out? I will do sharps separately, if necessary (how could it not be). I realize I am trying to cover a host of design and wear problems with this shotgun approach, and it would be easy (for me)to get bogged down in trying to micromanage the unmanageable. Any tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
