Yes. 17mm may just solve all your problems. Remove a hammer from the mid section and sample a 17mm shank. Going from 15mm to 17mm will reduce the weight by 10 grams easily. There may be more to do, but I would start there.

Right now it feels like a Mack Truck. I have not measured DW yet, but it feels like mid 60's to me. -there is only 15mil from knuckle to bushing. I measured it 3 different times getting the same result. -Hammers, shanks, knuckles, and whippens have all been replaced, but I think I'm fighting an uphill battle without replacing those shanks. Your thoughts? -Phil Bondi(Fl) _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
