Tony said: "Many many years ago I changed all the front touch felts in a Kawai grand because I felt that the touch was a bit too hard on compression. Then I regulated the piano by feel. (i can't play myself but it seems that I have a good touch. The player, a pianist of some note was very impressed and he felt that he could do more with the piano because he felt that he had better control. What we should always remember is that the pianist perceives the sound in the mind and then when it is played the sound made should be that of the percieved sound. The touch of the piano is what makes the sound, soft or heavy, high or low, so it is understandable that everything related to the touch is important." Tony, I have a sign, (actually a Bling<G>), in my shop that states: "If The Keys Aren't Right, Nothing Else Can Be". It has been my mantra for a lot of years.<G> Best, JOE Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
