Hey Ric :-)

Nice description of a piano's tone, but was he asking specifically *what*
the pianist could accomplish with a heavy but good action??

I was looking for something more on the lines of this (quoted from the same
postee, but I wanted to see if we would hear it from one of your pianists):

Cheers to you, my friend!  ;-)
