How high is=20 >too high? I wish I knew! Queried Ric on other parameters of this instrument, but = nothing really jumped out. High SWR, top med SW, low friction (as in = worn out), unassisted BW=3D55g, he didn't way what the assisted BW was = though (Ric??). Obviously I can only speculate, but a modest BW, say 38g with some = inertia behind it gives you a nice sense of "throwing" a weight when = playing.

Some pianos you feel like = you're pushing the hammer rather than throwing it. =20 Can't really say for sure though. Things get so messy when you get out = of the theory and into the real world! -Mark ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
