But seriously folks :-)

I installed a set of able lights on a 1879 Bechstein that I was
rebuilding.  Essentually they are just physically lighter.  They are
often a must in rebuilding more ventage pianos that where designed to
have the pre-1900 lighter touch.  In general, of course, they can be
used in any situation where a client requests a lighter touch.  I find
the tone quality to be excellent.
