Marcel, You asked about weakening the resistance of a soft pedal on a Baldwin Grand. I would first clean the spring and lubricate it ( and the keybed frame wear area ). Then make sure the KeyBed is clean and well lubricated at wear points, as well as keybed frame. Bed the keybed frame and then move to the pedals checking and lubricating where necessary. (leather can be replaced and/or Teflon powder added) After checking and lubricating every possible point you should have improved your problem. Weakening the spring may cause problems in the keybed returning slowly. good luck, Ed Tomlinson Tomlinson Tuning and Repair ETomlinCF3@AOL.com
