Steinway heavy touch

[Stéphane Collin]

here, we don't call that a piano.  We call that a home trainer.

| I just have to tell my story about heavy playing pianos. I tune and service
| a Yamaha LU-90 owned by a concert pianist who is also a piano teacher here
| in Panama. He had me install a total of 3 1/2 lead weights ON EACH KEY to
| make it play as heavy as possible. The 1/2 weight is mounted on the end of
| the key. He advocates weighting the keys so that he will never run into a
| piano thats hard to play. The touch weight is twice that of a Steinway D. He
| must have pretty strong fingers by now.
