corrrect?</font></blockquote>
<div><br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Upright keys are front heavy and will impair repetition with
the</div>
<div>introduction of friction from humidity.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I routinely install lead on the rear of the white keys primarily
to</div>
<div>even the touch weight between them and the sharps. I'll
place</div>
<div>a lead in the rear to add 6 grams to the Down Weight.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Upright keys are consistent in weight across to the keyboard
so</div>
<div>I'll set the drill press up with a fence and stop to frill for a
lead in</div>
<div>the same spot on every key. I'll weigh the FW of one and
place</div>
<div>two leads in the rear of notes 1 & 88 to duplicate the
FW.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>A good way to recycle lead removed from grand keys.</div>
