Best-fit downweight line:
On a well-regulated piano, downweight falls slightly from bass to treble. The best-fit line shows that fall; the scatter is the std dev of each key's downweight from the line, so the smaller it is, the more even the regulation.
* Calculated here from the measured curves, using the travel just before each key's damper lifts (DW*, UW*, BW*, F*). Keys without a damper lift use the KMD's values.

These interactive dot plots show key measurements across the entire keyboard. Hover over any dot to see the note name and exact value.
The friction, downweight and balance weight plots can show the values reported by the KMD (averaged over 2–4mm of travel), our calculated values (F*, DW* and BW*), or both. Keys tinted red have a damper lifting before 4mm, which skews the KMD values. For keys with a damper lift, we average from 2mm before the lift up to just before it, never using readings below 1mm. A hollow dot marks a window under 0.5mm wide, which has few readings. All other keys keep the KMD values.
Best-fit downweight line:
On a well-regulated piano, downweight falls slightly from bass to treble. The best-fit line shows that fall; the scatter is the std dev of each key's downweight from the line, so the smaller it is, the more even the regulation.
