I chose = the Abel lights mainly because of the success I've had with them in the = past on other small grands. The action is the old Thayer style. The = wippens have no rep. spring adjustment screw. The touch weight with the = original hammers averaged 30g down and 10g up. The new hammers as = sampled almost eliminate the down weight. Talk about light! The action = has been gone through and new key bushings installed. Friction/pinning = done.The keys have 4 to 5 1/2 oz weights in front of the balance rail. I = know I'm in for a touch weight project, but I can't spend a lot of time = at this. The money situation is very tight. The piano is a gift and the = children are interested in piano. A quick fix is out of the question. I = was wondering if anyone has a trick or two for just removing the = original key leads and moving them to get this thing to work. I'd like = to end up with a touch weight of about 45g. Does this sound reasonable? Paul Chick ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
