Touch design for concert pianists

[John Ross]

Is the 'guy' actually Russian trained?
I had a customer who was Russian trained, and she thought 'all' the pianos 
were too light.
I never actually checked any of them, since the actual customer was not 
interested in changing things.
I got the feeling that it was because 'all' the Russian pianos she had 
trained on, had a heavy touch.
Doesn't help solve your problem, but might be the reason for the why.
Possibly Isaac would know if the heavy weight was the norm, in Russia?
