Hello, all, As I read (fast) the digest, i am unsure of the point, but are not the ears the first organ to regulate the pianist touch ? is not that organ way faster than the eyes in its processing time ? I get it that the pianist make a mental map of the resistance of the keys, and this one is first driven by the ear, afterthat the keys are treated individually based on the expectations. The fact that there is some friction present is maybe only giving a sense of security, (longer dealy before the tone production) but even for that this is yet enough to allow the brain to be quiter and then more accurate. A light pianist will prefer a lighter touch of course, there is certainly a relation with the body weight and technique used. I am back to my hole ! best regards. Isaac OLEG
