Cliff,

If I am to understand your question, you are asking if we can make the upright
action play heavier?  Other than checking all of the friction points of the
action centers, or key bushings  you might try adjusting the damper spoons.
If the hammer travels 1/2 way before the damper starts to lift, then adjust it
between 1/3 and 1/2.  This will allow a heavier touch.  If no adjustment can
be made, a good grand should be in order.  They do not take as much room as
you think!

Hope I am on track or on the same page.
