A Church asked me to give an evaluation and estimate on several of its pianos, one of which was a grand piano shorter than 5 feet -- sort of a LaPetite size. The hammers were resting on the rebound rail and the keys weren't level, etc., so I convinced him that it needed an action regulation. As I was leaving with the action he said "It's got a heavy touch, see if you can do something about that?". When I got the action on my workbench and did touchweight measurements I got downweights of 52 to 60 grams and upweights from 24 to 38. These numbers are within spec as far as I can tell and the action should not feel heavy to the touch. So what do I do now? Any ideas or comments? Ted Simmons Merritt Island, FL
