I would contact Richard Davenport in Los Angeles. Richard actively is =
retrofitting magnetic keyboards and has experimented extensively with =
this subject.
Interesting thing that you mentioned Seiler...
this summer at the Chicago PTG  Seiler had sent one of their voicers to =
teach a voicing class.  Good class by the way.
During the class the subject was shifted to inertia...what was it, how =
does it feel, how does it feel and the affects if inertia to =
great...yada, yada, yada.
The point was made about magnetic actions and his response was =
interesting in that, even though inertia (can in many times) becomes our =
worst nightmare, it is also a characteristic of a piano keyboard. His =
thought was that the  magnetic keyboard, and in theory it works =
beautifully, will present an entirely different, foreign feel to the =
piano.  His theory was that there would many artists-types who would not =
feel comfortable playing a keyboard with such a different feel.
I've played on several magnetic keyboards and personally I didn't feel =
the same sentiment as the gentleman from Seiler.=20

   Hello today I saw a Seiler with magnets in the jacks. I have heard =
that petrof and bosendorfer use magnets in their keys. Does anyone know =
where I can see diagrams of these? Also does anyone know the pros and =
cons  of such initiatives??

                  Thanks Jack=20
