"The better quality full sized uprights and studio pianos probably would not improve much by this."

What is "this"?

"It was a piano that they could not replace with a better one because of family attachment."

"Could not replace"? Correction: Chose not to replace.

  The better quality full sized uprights and studio pianos probably would not improve much by this.  The spinets and consoles might be improved a lot by adding some weight to the back of the keys.  Most of them got none when they were built.  Not long ago I added weight to an old Acrosonic spinet that made a big improvement.  It was a piano that they could not replace with a better one because of family attachment.  The increased downweight makes it easier to play with better control, softer or louder, and the keys return quicker too.
