That was the first reason to buy a gram scale a few years ago. And indeed when I was a younger tech gram scales where not cheap or accessible to piano techs, I have one I have paid ?100 -USD 100 env. You 'll probably have to thin those hammers. Best Isaac OLEG Entretien et reparation de pianos.

I have a beautiful 1886 vertical, completely restored that plays and sounds great, but every prospective customer complains about the heavy touch. Does anyone know of a way to make the touch lighter. I have played the piano for over 60 years, and I myself like the touch of a Steinway. But, I guess in this era, everyone wants the soft touch of an electronic keyboard.
