Good Morning: some friends of mine bought a Knabe studio of recent manufacture which has a very heavy touchweight. The TW is over 80 grams in most of the piano. After checking for tight keys, tight flange centers, and any of the other usual causes of  heaviness, I came to the conclusion that having no weighting in the keys is the cause. I am planning to go back and weight the keys. Is there something I am missing here that might be a cure for this condition besides addign lead?
Thanks,
