HI, all.
Well, I'm just starting to reassemble this latest project, an old pressed wood Hohner 2-row C/F. I was careful to keep seperate the bass side and treble side springs. Now that I've got the treble side mechanism reassembled and I'm tensioning the springs, I notice some very distinct differences in spring resistance at the buttons. My question is, are there two different springs, dependent on which row they are installed? i.e. stiffer springs for the longer-levered outer row, and weaker for the shorter arms?
Alternately, do the bass and treble sides use different springs, in which case someone might have swapped some of these previously?
And, if there are different springs used, how might their proper location be identified?
Hope somebody can help me out with this!
Thanks,
Bob
