[pianotech] Heavy Pedal Spring

[James Grebe]

Talking about heavy soft pedal springs, ever try the soft pedal on a new 
Steinway K?

I don't need this lecture.  Do not answer my posts with this attitude.

I'm sorry, but if you know Ron, you should know he's not giving you a 
lecture, much less an "attitude". In addition to giving excellent advice, he 
has a dry sense of humor, which is very much appreciated. Everyone on this 
list has their own method of sharing information. Some are laid back, some 
are down right "in your face". Try to look at the advice, not the way it is 
presented. It will make life a lot easier to take.

 Then there's the hardware store. A decent one will have a selection of 
various
ized springs, one of which might be easily modified to work. We're all 
willing
o be spoiled, but finding the volunteer is often a problem. <G>

I am a highly skilled technician.  I operate with intelligence and 
diligence,
lways keeping the needs of my customers foremost in my decision making 
process.
 would like to belong to community of like minded technicians.
When a simple question is posed, a simple answer will suffice. This list is 
to
e used for purpose of information sharing.  Any advice offered on other 
topics,
uch as the professionalism of the questioner, is off limits.  Public sarcasm 
is
ot an appropriate mode of communication between colleagues.  In dealing with
ach other, the more professional behavior would be to assume that we are 
each
oming from an educated and capable position.
May I remind you that all of us in PTG pay our dues. No bully has the right 
to
ommandeer this list for the purposes of belittling other PTG members. 
Certain
osts I have read over the last months are deplorably anti-social, and do not
epresent the PTG favorably.
In future, I will automatically delete posts from individuals who routinely 
post
ostile replies.  I'd rather go without the information than subject myself 
to
gliness.
But . . . . . to any of you still reading this  . . . .. . .  keep those 
other
osts coming  . . . . .  you know, those friendly, informative, often 
humorous,
hought provoking posts.  Love 'em!
