The Michael From The Island said: "I like it! Magnetic forces - what are =
the downsides?"

The only one that comes to mind, is that magnets lose their =
properties/strength with time.
As for the lead thingee: you'd have to put one helluvalotof lead into =
the system to mimic the effect of a spring, which is what pianists are =
used to. Perhaps making the entire system out of iron or steel would =
come close. But, still not the same sensory for the pianist. Also more =
propensity for noise. :-(
Just my inflated $ worth.<G>
