Hi,
Before you add weight for the sake of making the touch heavy, consider 
this.  I have a customer with a grand piano on which someone else 
replaced the hammer heads and a few other things.  One of the proficient 
pianists of this customer had to discontinue her studies due to a hand 
injury from playing after this work had been done. 

I was asked to check the piano and found the hammer head molding to be 
of a different material than the original (knowing the brand and 
model).  Anyway the touch was very heavy and not properly regulated 
including improperly spaced and traveled parts.

I had to remove, reshape and reglue the heads (I did a trial reshaping 
on the ends to see if I could get the weight back to normal).  Then 
spaced and regulated the action. The pianists in the house were able to 
play again without straining their hands.
