Graduated Downweight

[Richard Brekne]

Personally I see no problem with graduating BW in this same way if one wanted
to. BW is probably as good a description of how the pianist senses the
mechanical aspects of touch anyways so if its indeed desirable to graduate
touch to be lighter in the high treble then why not BW ?

This can be done in any number of ways really. But I am not sure I would
approach this from adjusting friction. I think I would first look at reducing
SW's a tad, and you dont need much here. Remember 1 gram of SW is 5-6 grams of
FW or BW.. whichever you pick.
