Jim, I am not heavily into redesigning actions or even a great pianist for that matter but your post was very interesting. The question that comes to my mind is have you had the opportunity to play the Horowitz Steinway piano? If so does that piano have the feel you would like? My impression playing that piano was that you could breathe on those keys and they would play and respond wonderfully.
