Subject: Piano touch too heavy


>A Church asked me to give an evaluation and estimate on several of its

>LaPetite size.
>The hammers were resting on the rebound rail and the keys weren't level,
>etc., so I convinced him that it needed an action regulation.  As I was
>leaving with the action he said "It's got a heavy touch, see if you can do

>touchweight measurements I got downweights of 52 to 60 grams and upweights
>from 24 to 38.  These numbers are within spec as far as I can tell and the
>action should not feel heavy to the touch.  So what do I do now?  Any ideas
