Dear List, I am truly and deeply touched ( with no sarcasm ) by the outpouring of suggestions regarding my wrestling match with this U3! I will implement these suggestions and get back to you.....HOWEVER... ( special to Mr. Brekne ) YES, I did take out the lost motion on a few sample notes, even after reducing hammerstoke by 1/4 inch, and their hammers STILL bobbled! And to Roger Jolly: Are you sure this is "Ecsaine" on these butts? I've never seen "Ecsaine", but this looks awfully "buckskinish" to me ? In any event, there seems to be an undue amount of compression in this material, which is now "telegraphing" the angle the butted ends of of the two felt pieces beneath it creates. It is this rather acute angle which the rather acute front corner of the jacks do not seem to be able to negotiate. So the jacks get stalled there, and the butts bounce on them. I am beginning to think that this is the accumulation of several manufacturing/design oversights, rather than one in particular. And I am certain that Yamaha would like to hear about it. Thanks! Gordon P.S. What is Yamaha's #, if you please? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business $15K Web Design Giveaway http://promotions.yahoo.com/design_giveaway/
