Piano Touch

Is there any where to make a piano's touch heavier? How expensive is it?

Hi,
Yes, the touch weight of a piano can be changed to be either heavier or lighter. This is usually an expensive job, since the action has to be re-weighed. You will need to have a piano technician come over to determine if this is a good idea for your piano. He/She will be able to give you more details and an accurate estimate for the job.

Thanks
