About the only thing I could do to make it = a little "lighter" was to ease the balance rail holes. But that was only = a very, very little bit! I did a little bit of let-off and lost = motion regulation but I don't think it really helped very much. In = my opinion, the main problems are damper springs that are too strong = but I hesitate to mess with them because of possible damping problems. The= other thing I question is that almost all of the white keys had two lead= s in the back side of the key. Somehow, I really question that! Most of the = sharps had none at all. The piano is app. a 48" type and is about one year = old. Any suggestions?
