Greeetings,...This is a personal problem: When I tune a grand and try to play it afterwards, I have trouble playing it well, as my fingers are not strong enough because they are "babied" by the light touchweight of my own personal Yamaha at home. I have a Yamaha U3 circa 1979. (Japan and not a 'wet' piano) I am trying to increase the touchweight because I want to strengthen my fingers for when I obtain a grand. Will jiffy weights have an adverse/bad effect on the springs or eventually cause other action problems or accellerated wear? I want to keep the Yami in good shape as I want to sell it to raise some money for the long-dreamed-of-grand. Advice suggestions? Thank you. PS I dislike the Broadwood tuning on my U3, as soon as the unisons become intolerable I am tuning the ValOtti.....which, I LOVE.... especially on my old upright ...(but probably wont sound as good on the U3 because of the moderne scaling design) Happy New Year Everybody!!
