[pianotech] Jack Springs

[John Ross]

I was going to order some upright jack springs, as I am down to my  
last set.
The diagram I see in the catalogue that it shows a new different  
spring. It appears to be of a larger guage.
The spinet springs look the same.
Would someone like to comment on these new springs.
A fellow tech, told me of some new springs he was supplied in Canada,  
and he didn't like them, saying they were harder to install, and were  
noisier.
I think that these must be the ones he was referring to, the Canadian  
supplier obviously is supplied by the US firm.
He actually talked me out of my second last set. Now I see what he was  
referring to.
I don't know if it is ethical to indicate which item and catalogue, I  
am talking about.
