Action weight

[Barbara Richmond]

Hi Terry,

Yeah, LaRoy Edwards makes one.  I've heard wonderful things about it--not to 
mention it would be the safe thing to do.   This piano is in a church (I 
haven't been there yet), and hope it's placed in a position where I can work 
on it easily--although in the past I have told a couple churches they would 
have to move their pianos to a better position for the work I was to 
perform.  I'm so demanding.  :-)
