FAMILY="SANSSERIF">I know that Steinway pianos, both the verticals, =
and grands
have for years been noted for their heavy touches. I have a beautiful =
1886
vertical, completely restored that plays and sounds great, but every
prospective customer complains about the heavy touch. Does anyone know =
of a
way 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
wants the soft touch of an electronic keyboard.<BR><BR>Roy
