Have I >overlooked something? Thanks. Jim Love ,Midland,tx. Jlovekeys@aol.com If there are key leads in the front of the keys, you can possibly remove whatever is necessary to resolve this problem. You will want to insure a somewhat even downweight ratio across the entire keyboard as it will change by removing leads. If there aren't key leads in the front, then adding key leads or weights at the rear of the key will help to resolve this problem. Likewise, you will want to insure a somewhat even downweight ratio across the entire keyboard.
