Hi, Before you add weight for the sake of making the touch heavy, consider this. I have a customer with a grand piano on which someone else replaced the hammer heads and a few other things. One of the proficient pianists of this customer had to discontinue her studies due to a hand injury from playing after this work had been done. I was asked to check the piano and found the hammer head molding to be of a different material than the original (knowing the brand and model). Anyway the touch was very heavy and not properly regulated including improperly spaced and traveled parts. I had to remove, reshape and reglue the heads (I did a trial reshaping on the ends to see if I could get the weight back to normal). Then spaced and regulated the action. The pianists in the house were able to play again without straining their hands. Jessica Masse RPT
