---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Dale, No doubt about it....but some people like a heavier feel, and some prefer lighter. I guess we only really see it as a symptom if it we don't like the way it feels. I personally thought the pianos were fine before I played with the dampers. I'll chalk it up to experience/inexperience, and see how it plays out over the next few appointments. One of the appeals of this method for me was that things can be changed back without a huge amount of effort. Thanks for the input, Dave S., enthusiasm slightly "dampered" In a message dated 1/20/2006 3:49:09 P.M.

Like poor geometry, too heavy hammers, or poor weigh off ...if any? Dale: Remember of course that when we measure touch weights on a grand action, the action is usually on the bench or otherwise separated from the damper assembly (say, by putting the sustain pedal on). In effect you've made the action feel as those the sustain pedal is on, even when it isn't. True enough, but we're talking about real world playing. Measuring on the bench doesn't give an accurate account of what the player actually feels with the piano fully assembled. Dale Erwins Piano Restorations 4721 Parker Rd.
