To Clarnibass:
Thanks a lot for your suggestion- the lighter gauge spring worked better!
I bent it at the base down slightly, and then gradually to the side.
Now, the key moves with even pressure, without significant increase in tension towards the end-range.
However, as Chris said, it was difficult to achieve good balance- at first, I made it too stiff. Then, after trying to make the tension lighter, it became too light so the key does not hold the air pressure much (but holds vacuum).
I left it there and will play tomorrow to see if that's a problem.
Again, thanks a lot for your help!
P.S.
Still, "my spring" does not produce the same movement quality as the spring on my newer Buffet...
