Stephane, >Jim, if I got you right, your main complain that you describe as a >"higher-than-you-would-like" dynamic touch weight is somehow related to what >I call the "hey-I-didn't-mean-that" effect... You make an interesting point. I have never experienced it as you describe, but its a very reasonable line of thought. I wonder though just how much of this discussion is really about belly stuff and how much is about actions. >Together with this action dynamics properties goes the soundboard >responsiveness. Again, a soundboard that doesn't respond that well to the >action dynamics (understand that a large dynamic change input in the action >results in a small dynamic response in the soundboard) will oblige you to >exaggerate your finger input dynamics, which can or can not be agreeable. I think my experience of this is quite opposite. In a poorly responding soundboard, I can play either loud or loud. A hard strike of the key is loud and a soft strike is loud. Everything sounds the same. The action really seems to be out of the picture...anyway that's the way I experience it.
