obvious sources of friction and the damper timing is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, =
 aftertouch. Make sure you have an adequate amount. Often, if aftertouch =
is very shallow, a pianist will complain that the touch is "heavy".=20

  Dear Friends:

    I am to work on a Kurtzman Grand Friday.  Clean, regulate, repair =
lyre braces.  Owner asked if I could make the touch any lighter.  I said =
    "Sure, No Problem!!!!"

  Ok,      now how do I do that?  The dampers are already lifting at =
about half blow.  It does seem somewhat sluggish.  Please give me your =
best advice...
