They just hung there in about drop position. This would definitely be felt as a heavy touch. This action rests on its rails; it does not have glides. To correct this I added a little more key dip and that took care of the problem. I guess this is a good example where bench regulation isn't always the most accurate method.

If the dampers are lifting too early, and/or if the up stop rail is preventing the damper from going all the up, then the action will feel heavy. Willem Blees
