[pianotech] Damper spring tension

Hello list,

Just wondering what is the best way to measure and evenly adjust the tension
of damper springs.
I have fitted new springs, but it is an old piano and the flanges do not
have the little hole for the springs to slot into.
The springs are therefore at a higher tension due to the fitting angle.
I will need to bend the springs backward to reduce the tension to keep a
light touch -but want to keep it even.
The dampers are not yet back in the action.

Thanks in advance
Lee
