What I said was: >if you take the aural signal out, so that only the tactile feedback through the key was left, I would be surprised if one could tell the hardness of the hammer by what the finger receives. < If the point is that different hammers have a different tactile feel when played, I am simply questioning that, don't know that I have missed it yet.... So, I want someone to show me that they can distinguish between a fairly hard and a fairly soft hammer by tactile feedback through the key. I just went into the shop and tried it, didn't seem to take. Anyone else try this in a controlled situation? Wondering, Ed
