'Course maybe some heavy axle = grease in the action centers will make things more familiar. ;-) How old is this Bluthner. Is it an oldie? Could it have a Bluthner = Patent action? If so, it might be a shame to alter that action. If it is a modern typical action, I would highly recommend having a = proper action balancing job done on it - that way you can address action = geometry, inertia, DW, UW, eveness, etc. and get the darn thing right = where you want it. There's gotta be someone out in the Bay area (not = Tampa Bay, but that imposter out on the west coast) that is up to speed = on that stuff.

I have a friend who runs a small concert center. He has a 7 foot = Bluthner that none of the visiting performers want to play because they = say the action is like a digital piano (apparently very light for = performers that are used to a Steinway action).
