Gordon - Others have made some good points about possible causes for your discomfort, apart from the teflon itself. In fact, your post quite spare of useful detail. You say it feels heavy, clumsy, and uneven. You say you play the piano daily, but you don't say if you tune and regulate it. Have the hammers been replaced? If so, with what? What, precisely is the friction like at the various centers (hammer; rep; jack; rep. lever; damper (both)? You don't mention the action clicking. Is that because it's been repinned? If so, it may have been made to tight. Has it been regulated? What shape are the knuckles? Where are the jacks aligned? If the rep levers are tight to too tight, the rep. lever spring might be noticeably strong. Any other useful info you can provide? That's enough to start with.
