Remember that Steinway B I worked on in St. Thomas? This piano also had a 
very heavy action, and we couldn't figure out what the problem was. Ray 
LaMotta finally figured it out, quite by accident. He discovered that when he 
put his hand on the top of the action,  the rail gave a little, more than 
what he expected. What had happened is the hammer rail had come loose from 
the action brackets. The weld actually gave way. Because it is a welded 
action, you can't see the break, because it is hidden. But push down on the 
action, and see if it moves. Then look very carefully at all the welded 
joints.
