Seiler - heavy touch

sirprize · Post by **sirprize** » 15 Jul 2007, 15:52

Does anyone have an intimate experience of the response characteristics of the Seiler 132 Konzert SMR upright with its patented Super Magnet Repetiton (SMR) technology?

I have committed myself to buying a recently-built model - a lovely sounding piano - but have reservations about the heaviness of the touch. There are apparently very few of these in the UK for me to make an evaluation against. I have a hunch/hope that the touch can be improved because at the moment its heaviness cancels out the benefits of its grand-piano repeat-note simulation. I would grow into it myself but pupils - many of whom practise on the very light keyboards of electronic instruments - will complain

Any thoughts gratefully received - particularly from technicians who know these pianos

I meant to add.......

I've read a number of postings in piano forums which mention the LIGHTNESS of touch of the Seiler 132 SMR.....so I'm baffled why this particular 132 should have a distinctly heavy touch

Suggestions......thoughts......contra-indications?

THANKS

Not that well up on SMR action but your problem sound like damp in the action what is the humidity in the room
