When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists

“Practice makes perfect” is a common mantra for any pianist, but we all know it’s an oversimplification. While practice often leads to improvement, true perfection is elusive. But according to recent research, a robotic exoskeleton hand could help pianists improve their speed of performing difficult pianistic patterns, by overcoming the well-known “ceiling effect”.

Stiff pedals on Clavinova

on: March 03, 2009, 05:58:47 PM

Is there any other people with a Yamaha Clavinova on here? I find the pedals on my one very stiff to press down, and are much harder to use then any acoustic pianos upright or grand. Its annoying as sometimes working on piece with a lot of pedal tires out my leg. Mind you though I will probably develop quite a strong right leg from the effort needed to press the damper

.

anybody else had the same problem?

I've played lots of Crapinovas and never noticed that, but it will be east enough to modify - at the very worst, you'll just need to cut the spring down a bit.
