  Have him or her go back to the August and December 1996 Journals and read the two articles I wrote about energy losses in piano actions. In one of those articles I described how to improve (I realize the idea of "improving" anything to do with the piano is subjective so perhaps I should just say "change") these keys.

  Basically I removed the so-called Accelerated Action "rockers" and replaced them with normal thin felt punchings. I then used the space gained to accommodate maple plates of equal thickness (4 mm comes to mind but you should check) glued to the bottom of the keys. Did wonders to "change" the performance of the action and the piano.
