Ed,

An interesting design issue is: Why Yamaha chose to use the spring on the
bottom of the HH65 to lift top plate pedal only and not to lift both the
"top plate pedal and the rubber wedge" together? This simple change would
assure that the rubber wedge, even it were to stretch a little, it would be
forced off the FSR ribben located on the bottom plate and all but eliminate
the hanging loss of the fully open position.
