How did you adjust the spoons for eveniness of lift with keys?

I guess we only really see it as a symptom if it we don't = like the way it feels. I personally thought the pianos were fine befor= e I played with the dampers. I'll chalk it up to experience/inexperience, and see how it plays out o= ver the next few appointments. One of the appeals of this method for m= e was that things can be changed back without a huge amount of effort. Thanks for the input, Dave S., enthusiasm slightly "dampered" In a message dated 1/20/2006 3:49:09 P.M.

Dale: Remember of course that when we measure touch weights on a grand action= , the action is usually on the bench or otherwise separated from the da= mper assembly (say, by putting the sustain pedal on).

Measuring on = the bench doesn't give an accurate account of what the player actually = feels with the piano fully assembled. Dale Erwins Piano Restorations 4721 Parker Rd.
