Ooohhh.  I respectfully beg to differ.  I prepared dozens of new Yamaha
grands over the last 6 years, and in my experience, the repetition springs
are ALWAYS too strong, and the jack position always needs refinement
(especially after you weaken the springs,) which brings the letoff closer,
but usually not close enough, then ya gotta do the drop, then ya gotta make
SURE the blow distance is at least 46mm and the key travel is a hair over
10mm.=20

These things above, plus getting the glides right (I=B9ve talked about this
before) makes a striking improvement in the spielart and tone of the piano.
Very satisfying, because I=B9ve experienced it to be a predictable outcome
every time.
