<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Brian: From my understanding of key weight 
mechanics, it seems that by adding lead you will be increasing the inertia of 
the key, which slows action down. A console action is just not capable of 
playing like a grand. Try increasing the hammer spring strength, if possible - 
you could even install heavier springs. </font></div>
