<HTML>I know that Steinway pianos, both the verticals, and g= rands have for years been noted for their heavy touches. I have a beautiful = 1886 vertical, completely restored that plays and sounds great, but every pr= ospective customer complains about the heavy touch. Does anyone know of a wa= y to make the touch lighter. I have played the piano for over 60 years, and = I myself like the touch of a Steinway. But, I guess in this era, everyone wa= nts the soft touch of an electronic keyboard. Roy Czekay, rczekay@aol.com </HTML>
