When I first assembled it and set it up I felt that it might be to light  as far as touch .  The other teacher says it's to light . She and some of her students have trouble with control of sound .</P> <P>When I first looked at the Hammers from Renner to me they looked smaller & felt lighter than the originals . The whippens came from Yamaha . So the only parts that might have made this action lighter would have been the hammers shanks & knuckles. I used the specs from my action hand book for regulation . I guess I need to read up on the key weighting and learn how to finish the job right . I just thought that maybe there was one of those rules that might apply to this like if light do this and if heavy do something else as far as regulation . But if it's the lighter hammer assembles than I guess the right way to correct it is by adding the weight back . No short cuts .?</P> <P>Thanks for any ideas , Brett</P> <P>It is not clear from your post what the complaint is.<BR>Is the "local teacher" satisfied that the action is fast and light?<BR>Is the other teacher complaining it is too heavy?<BR>What kind of "hard time" are the students having? Hard time pressing the keys or hard time controlling the sound?<BR>What is your impression of the piano?<BR>Have you voiced the hammers?<BR>Have you taken basic down and up weight measurements?<BR>Ed Sutton<BR><BR></P></TD></TR> <TR UNSELECTABLE="on" hb_tag="1"> <TD style="FONT-SIZE: 1pt" height=1 UNSELECTABLE="on"> <DIV id=hotbar_promo></DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR> -- <p><a target="_blank" href="http://a8-asy.a8ww.net/a8-ads/adred?redirectid=mailfamily_a_target01"> <img src="http://a8-asy.a8ww.net/a8-ads/adred?redirectid=mailfamily_img_src01" border="0"alt=""></a> <img src="http://a8-asy.a8ww.net/a8-ads/adred?redirectid=mailfamily_a8tracker01" width="0" height="0" alt="" style="width: 0px; height: 0px;"></p>
