Here again, it is up to the preferences of the pianist.   They expect touch
to be as uniform as possible.  After all this has the goal of piano makers
since 1720. because that is what the players want. Their wish is our
command.  The place for advocacy is NOT with the technicians. If you as a
technician have a suggestion you  damn well better be able to demonstrated
YOURSELF. Otherwise be happy with the mindless uniformity of the wishes of
the performers, and simply follow the service manuals.     The few techs who
are at the level of MA piano performance will have the final say as far as
regulation goes.   ric   5th grade?

ps this was kinda tongue in cheek---right?
