>From Avery Todd >************************FORWARDED MESSAGE*********************************** >>The key to all of this is that as soon as you move from down and up weights >>to balance weights, you've answered the first big issue in touch resistence, >>namely, is your problem one of friction or of mass. So many people describe >>touch resistence in terms of down weight (and if we're lucky, up weight as >>well), but this is meaningless to me without the differentiation between the >>two kinds of resistence. >In an ideal world there would not be friction, Dead wrong... friction is built in to piano actions on purpose for control or rather to prevent a feeling of "out of control". >**************************END FORWARDED MESSAGE***************************** Avery, I thought I'd been following all discussions regarding touchweight. I don't recongnize these quotes. If it's from another list I'd love to know, because I'd love to jump in on the talk. Where is this from? David C.
