You just do what you do. That's pretty much the same thing no matter what touch related issue we can discuss. But that lack of direct conciousness related to playing doesnt lessen our ability to sense things or have to deal (just as instinctively) to what we are confronted with. So the effect remains. Course if this all appeals to you... then it does and thats thats. My arguementation simply goes to the point that the majority of pianists seem to prefer a bit more friction the you evidently do, and to attempting to explain (partially) why. Cheers RicB*//*
