It does have a very light touch. I just took some downweight measurements and it's around 43-45 grams. Upweight is around 23 grams so the friction is around 10. I'm contemplating adding some weight at the back of the keys but I kind of like how it plays. If somebody is looking for a light action this would be the one. Alex: I don't understand your analogy to the grand action and feeling of lack of gravity. When you refer to spring tension being neglibible, do you mean the hammer return spring or the jack spring?
