The TW is over 80 grams in most of the piano. After checking for tight keys, tight flange centers, and any of the other usual causes of  heaviness, I came to the conclusion that having no weighting in the keys is the cause. I am planning to go back and weight the keys. Is there something I am missing here that might be a cure for this condition besides addign lead?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Patrick C.
