Steinway heavy touch

[David Love]

I didn't tell them about the weight, they came to the conclusion
themselves; a few of them because they had two pianos, one with a much
lighter touch.  Maybe it has to do with the excessive force issue.  I don't
dispute what you are saying as the primary causes, however, I can report
that since making modifications to these actions (at their request) the
problems seem to have disappeared.  Placebo effect?:)
