@FreakyFwoof I want that piano yesterday. I’ve played a couple kawais before and they’re amazing, even better than steinway in some ways.

@jdking92 I want to eat it. And then play it and eat it and play it again in equal measure. The action was just amazing!

@FreakyFwoof I’m really, really picky about my piano actions. If it’s smooth and buttery, and if it allows me to do trills like there’s no tomorrow, I love it. If it’s too stiff and sluggish I’m not here for it.

@jdking92 @FreakyFwoof For me, the lighter the better, as long as the key action is still smooth. I love the action of piano fortes.

@kevinrj @FreakyFwoof Right, but the fortepiano is a different instrument to the modern piano. Also, if the action is *too* light, it can no doubt cause it’s own issues.

@jdking92 @FreakyFwoof All true. Though I haven’t yet played a piano where the action is too light. There aren’t any pianoforte knock-offs around though. :)

@kevinrj @FreakyFwoof I’ve played a few uprights with actions that were incredibly light, though that was mainly because they hadn’t been properly regulated in a good while. I’ve also played instruments with very, very sluggish or unresponsive actions. Not recommended for an enjoyable experience.
