Soft Keys on Uprights
on: August 22, 2003, 03:06:56 AM
Hello, I have an upright, and I don't hate it, since I have been playing it for 8 yrs now, but I have always noticed that uprights or non-steinways always have soft and light keys. This is a problem because when I have lessons or performances on Steinways, the keys are much heavier and I sometimes miss notes in fast areas and in some areas cannot quite get the sound and tone I want and ususally can get on my upright, since I am used to the upright. Any suggestions or comments? How bout helping me finance a Steinway!!!
Thanks, Michael Yu

Have a piano tech regulate your piano.
