I don't recommend permanently gluing the quarters of the keys, though.Ĥ. The additional weight of the quarters lightens the touch up just like that. This way when you play the note you are touching the quarters and not the ivory. If you want to see how just a few grams change the touch, take two quarters and put them on the white key, the flat side. Heavy touch is usually because the keys are not sufficiently weighted. You could do this yourself but only if you really want to know how your piano works and are not afraid to accidentally break something.ģ. Even if there is no sound, lubricating the action pins will reduce the friction, thereby lightening the touch, although barely noticeable. If there is, the action may be sticking and need lubricating. Slowly press down the keys and listen very carefully if there is some rubing noise. Also, this slows down your playing significantly as you have more distance to travel with your fingers.Ģ. Any addition depth and the keys will feel much heavier even if it is just 1/8th of an inch more. It should be at the standard of 3/8 inch when measured at the edge. Measure the depth the keys dip when they are pressed down. But here are some suggestions for yourself to check to determine what could be the problem:ġ. You should hire a technician for this job. Is there an easy solution for this problem, besides buying a new piano? The piano that girl plays, the keys look like they are very easy to push down. They keys feel easy to push when playing slowly, which was why I never noticed this until now. She uses all of her fingers with no problem to play any chord, trills, thirds, etc.something I never do, (i always use my 1st, 2nd or 3rd for trills or for thirds) But there probably is no way for me to use my fingers the way she does on my Weinbach piano.Even if I could play like her, I dont think it would be possible to use my fingers gracefully on this piano.as the keys feel like they weigh a ton when playing full chords fast, or playing fast in general. Is there any way to make the keys much easier to press down? I was watching these videos and the videos made me realize that my technique is so ungraceful compared to hers. They don't get tired anymore because I am pretty used to the piano, however it still seems tough playing something like a Scherzo. Actually just recently, I started to notice it is almost impossible to play anything on that piano with fast speed, and impossible to play a "soft" s either all or nothing. I received it when I was 15, and I was just learning the piano at that age, so I didn't even notice that the keys were pretty stiff to push down. Its a very good piano, sturdy, stays in tune for the most part, and sounds very nice.
