The job of this device is not to provide downbearing in the first place, and a review of some of Del Fandrichs posts on this matter might be a good idea. Further the plate is not exactly at its strongest in this area and will crack easily enough if stressed too much. That stress might marginal in such a fashion as to not show itslef until the first time someone flips the piano on its side for moving... a slight jar and a borderline stress condition and bang !!... If you dont know exactly how to set these kinds of adjustsments, it seems best to me to just leave them alone. I have heard two methods for adjusting these. One is finger tight and then 1 full turn. The other is "until you get a slight increase in sustain". Tho.. to be frank the second one strikes me as vague and risky JMV -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
