A piano that hasnt been played in a while can feasably have ....ahhh... shall we say "stiff joints"... :) like my knees every morning as it were. A bit of moving around loosens some of that up, and some of the apparent <<weight>> of the action dissapears. We do this all the time really when we lubricate action centers and key bushings.... lowering friction lowers Downweight. Downweight. Balance weight should not change mind you, and its a good idea to be familiar with the difference between the two. Cheers RicB
