Wim has a good idea. IMHO, not only is it impossible to make a console action feel like a grand, but what if the grand in question is something like a 1920s S&S with a green vertigris action - or even just some other action that was set up poorly - like excessive leading, etc.? I service a couple older worn out S&S grands at a performance facility in town here. I'm continually trying to have them upgrade the pianos - but to no avail. I saw a very talented student perform a piece on the piano a while back. I'm always amazed that anyone can even play those pianos. When she was done I asked her what she thought of the piano and the way the action played. She replied: "Oh, I'm used to it. I have a Steinway at home." Go figgur..... Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- Before adding weight to the keys, make sure that is what the daughter is looking for. Ask who the teacher is and do some investigating. What is the DW & UW of the keys on the teacher's grand compared to the student's console. Maybe one or the other needs to be regulated.
