Jim,
I am not heavily into redesigning actions or even a great pianist for
that matter but your post was very interesting. The question that comes
to my mind is have you had the opportunity to play the Horowitz Steinway
piano? If so does that piano have the feel you would like? My impression
playing that piano was that you could breathe on those keys and they
would play and respond wonderfully.
