Lighter or Heavier ?

[Stéphane Collin]

Hi Terry.

Yes you can.  But do you mean that two pianos prepared via matching Stanwood approach will have exactly the same touch feel ?

| Hi Richard, List.
| 
| Again interesting topic.
| May I add a question?
| Why do two pianos with same UW/DW, friction level and inertia, leverage etc. NEVER have the same touch feel ?
| (Or am I totally wrong presuming this ?)
