In a message dated 99-06-08 03:15:34 EDT, you write: <<" A lot of pianists complain about actions being "to stiff". I am wondering how one avoids too stiff a feel to the action, while at the same time finding every possible way to make parts so that they are stiffer in effort to transfer more energy from finger to string ? Richard Brekne" >> Richard; Stiff action feel/touch and stiff action parts have very little, if any, co-relation. Energy stored, as in key flexing, that is not released 'before' the hammers hits the string is wasted energy for all intents and purposes, as is energy wasted by key twisting from side to side.
