TouchRail

The TouchRail replaces the key stop rail in virtually any grand piano to provide substantial touch weight reduction. Adjust TouchRail height to change the entire keyboard, then dial in note-to-note consistency for each key with the micro adjusters. With a maximum range of nearly 20 grams* of down weight reduction, the TouchRail can make even the heaviest action feel lighter and more comfortable. With hundreds sold world wide, piano technicians are taking notice of how the TouchRail can satisfy their customers.

Crown Voicing Kit

For precision voicing in the string grooves. Comes with 3 strengths of hardeners, voicing needle, chalk and felt chalk eraser.

Just add solvent (acetone) and shake to create fast drying hardener that can be applied along individual string grooves in the hammer crown.

This precise application method gives brightness where needed with minimal drift into other areas of the crown, such as the soft pedal region or neighboring string grooves.

Ken Camper, Seattle, Washington

Gary Fluke, Washington

"The ability to affect down weight more than up weight is like having your cake and eating it too!"

Mike Reese, RPT Alabama

"Just installed the TouchRail on the Mason here in NC. Really easy to do and feels great. Action needed some friction reduction and fine regulating but the Rail was the ticket."

Bill Huesman, RPT North Carolina

"The end results were great and the customer was very happy...[The TouchRail] did seem to really help this action."

Andy Lyford, RPT, Virginia

have completed my first installation and [my client] is very happy... When [she] sat down to play (and she plays very,very well!) she immediately commented on the lower touch weight, and as she played she became more aware of the eveness of the touch as well."

Taylor Mackinnon, RPT, Oregon

Gerald Cousins, RPT West Chester University

Lawrence Dickenson, Ontario

"[The installation] went very well. The touch weight fell into place right where I’d hoped it would. The customer loved it."

Steven James, RPT Wisconsin.

"A practical solution to decreasing downweight without inhibiting upweight specifications. ...Individual adjustment for each key produces extremely accurate results! My clients are thrilled! Particularly helpful with performance pianos. Pianists appreciate the flexibility of choosing their ideal keyweight. A wonderful and practical innovation that should be in the arsenal of all piano technicians."

Mark Bunker, RPT Minnesota

Brian Grindrod, New Hampshire

"[We] are utterly amazed at the resulting touch on my Mason and Hamlin Ampico grand! Not only does the touch feel better in regular playing, but also the player rolls play crisper and brighter.

Rand Reeves, RPT New York

"The latest install went very well. The improvement was more than I had expected."

Chris Dincher RPT, Robert M Sides Music Center Pennsylvania

"The down weight of our main concert instrument was too light and uneven. We re-leaded the keyboard to 55g down weight, and added the TouchRail so that in less than five minutes the down weight can be changed to 50g or 45g. The evenness and repetition were greatly improved, and pianists are delighted with the luxury of three down weight options".
