[pianotech] Action inertia FW versus SW

[Thomas Cole]

David,

I'm sure by making some trials that you'll discover the remedy. But I 
wonder, thinking about this fly away feeling, that what might be missing 
is a sense of inertia in the system. Some of this was removed when the 
AR was lowered, and further by the corresponding reduction of FW. So 
wouldn't moving towards a more normal BW / FW accomplish a more 
acceptable feel, with more control over dynamic range?
