Hamburg B Key Inertia

[Stéphane Collin]

... but isn't it so that action with too low key inertia causes for the
pianist problems to control his playing ? Isn't some inertia desirable, as
it integers smoothly all the unequalities of the pianist's fingers ?  As
long as apparent weight at fast playing is reasonable, and repetition good
enough, I would think that the more inertia, the better control (kind of :
"you want that effect, so you have to move your fingers accordingly" rather
than "hey, I didnt want that effect" occuring with too low key inertia
actions).

Or do I miss something again ?

the inertia on the last few keys before the break.  Any ideas about why they
would do this?
