What options are there for me to increase the touchweight or the weight of my piano action? I find it way to light for my taste, I recently had my hammers replaced, however now the touch of my piano has changed, I really do not have the money to call out another technician, is there anything I can do? I have experience working with pianos, I know how to change the key dip, and tune. Please help me!

Oh, i forgot to add that I've heard you can strength the hammer springs...but I don't know how to do that, and I dare don't try without a little instruction from someone, anybody know how to do that? or any other suggestions too!

What kind of piano? Grand or upright? What brand hammers? Does it feel light or is it just hard to play softly? How extensive a regulation did it receive after the hammers were replaced?

It is a grand piano, with renner hammers, it just feels light, it isn't hard to play soft. It received a full regulation to standard specs...but before the hammer replacement it wasn't at standard I believe, a technician a few years ago I believe created more tension for me by doing something with the dampers? I know standard is probably what you are supposed to like...but I like my piano to be around 52-55 gram touchweight as opposed to 48 grams which it is now.
