[CAUT] lighter touchweight

Alan,

A prediction from me on the swiss-cheese effect:
- repetition will be snappier and more reliable
- Tone will be slightly brighter.
- Measured touch weight will not change appreciably.

I know, it's whacky, but there it is.

I'll look forward to hearing about it.

Don

I am considering trying it on an action that I am about to rebuild for
our piano studio.  Thinking about doing the rebuild w/o the Swiss cheese
effect, let them play it for a while that way, then pull the wips, drill
and replace, without notifying the users (piano faculty and piano
majors).  We'll see if anyone notices an improvement without being
steered towards it.
