Re: Lightening the action

2007-01-15 by cuari7

Actually, I also enjoy the feeling of the kb a lot.
Problem is that after playing really fast riffs for a few minutes, my 
tendons ache.
This problem started many years ago while playing-ironically-my 
Yamaha KX88. I should have taken a break back then, but I didn't, and 
this lead to subsequent need for carpal tunnel surgery. I don't have 
nerve entapment anymore, but I still fear injuries from excessive 
playing. The only kb that doesn't hurt me like this is my Roland 
piano. It's like buttah!!

;-P
