Yes, of course the damper spring has an effect on touch. Especially on =
soft blows. If the damper springs are excessively tight it can be some =
difficult to control pianissimo and to hold the key down for sustain. =
Well, ok, it's not going to require all of your hand and arm strength, =
but you're going to have to concentrate on it instead of the music.=20

Hence my advice over the years to properly mass-load the vertical damper =
just as we do the grand damper. Then spring pressure doesn't have to be =
nearly so great to achieve good damping.

    The question is, is it worth the trouble to adjust the damper spring =

  Im sorry.... must misunderstand this answer.... why did you REALLY =
write this ? Damper spring tension can have up to and including a =
