As I mentioned, my complaint is an empirical one. I do feel that, at least in my experience, that many action designers and pianists, choose, as a default, a heavier dynamic touch than I would like to see. Sometimes both the sound and touch of these instruments seem to target only one monolithic flavor. The purpose of my post is to raise the possibility of other takes on the issue. Thanks again.
