Before adding weight to the keys, make sure that is what the daughter is looking for. Ask who the teacher is and do some investigating.?What is the DW & UW of the keys on the teacher's?grand compared to the student's console. Maybe?one or the?other needs to be regulated.??

She want to get the feel more like the grand. ? ? Is it logical to add another lead to see if that helps?? Or is this overkill? ? I already tried to have several dampers lift a little earlier , by moving the spoon , but that did not add enough resistance either. ? Brian P. Doepke, (dep-kee) R.P.T.
