 Re: What is the best way to adjust needle spring tension

I don't agree with the placement of the new adjusting screw on the F/C key - it's located to make contact far too near the LH F/C key barrel and thus creates far more travel in the LH F/C touch than before or on a well set-up linkage (and that usually takes some doing on Buffets).

If it was fitted so the adjusting screw tip made contact near the end of the underlever, then the action would be much snappier. If the adjusting screw was angled inwards (towards the RH F/C key pillars), then that would work much better and keep the key travel down making the action more snappy.

And why I ignore it and fit the appropriate thickness rubco on the linkage in the old-fashioned way and the adjusting screw serves no real purpose. Like a lot of things, it's a good idea, but not well executed as they've only made an already bad scenario worse.
