Duo-Art Springs Needed
By Sam Harris

I'm finishing an expression box from a Steinway Duo-Art and have
discovered the regulator springs are the same.  I understand you
need a stronger spring on the theme side in order to get the theme
side to perform as it was intended.

I need a spring!  I'm not sure if I have two strong or two weak
springs.  If someone else is in the same situation we can measure
the strengths and do a trade.  If not I will need to get a spring
or another set.  Any ideas will be appreciated.

I would like to take this time to thank two MMDer's, Craig Brougher
and Al Pebworth, who have be unfailing in their help.  Both of these
guys have been a tremendous help and encouragement with this expression
box, which happens to be my first.  They have both given me solid
advice and great council about the restoration.  It truly means a lot
to have some folks who are _willing_ to help, and these two have been
very unselfish with their knowledge and time.  Thanks men!

By the way, did anyone get the February AMICA?
