Hello Jack, My experience has been that a piano that has not been played for a number of years may be sluggish at first. Some of this sluggishness may clear up with playing, but if the touch is just heavy, I don't likely to be due to not being played. Heavy touch is more an issue of things like damper timing, key leading, regulation, tight key bushings, tight hammer flange pinning/bushing, etc. It is good to just begin going down a list of possibilities for why and check each one to find the cause. Sometimes you can just feel in your finger where the problem is. -- Jack Houweling <jackhouweling@dccnet.com> wrote: > Thanks for the info on regulating and cleaning and > lubing actions but, I still would like to know does > the touch ease up at all with just playing on a > piano that has not been played for ten years? > > Jack Houweling __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
