This is my first post on here, so hello to everybody, and thanks in advance for any replies

Ive just taken the plunge and bought my first piano. It is a (1980s?) Alisson overstrung upright. I cant find a serial number on it - all i can find is, when i take the kickboard off, i see the number 58688 stencilled on the wood. Its under four foot tall and is not very ornate (i dont have a digital camera on me, otherwise i would post a pic). Oh - the metal frame inside has a sticker with a red wax seal on it, dont know if that helps identify??
I was very happy with my new piano, for which i paid £980 (delivered to a 1st floor flat) from a tradesman, until today when i walked into a music store and saw one nearly identical (same cabinetry and insides, different name and colour) for £200 less than i paid for mine, plus the action was a lot nicer to play (not so hard on my fingers and easier to play). The action on my piano is very hard in comparison - plus the soft pedal has less effect than the one in the shop.
My new piano looks in very good condition inside, the keys dont move about, there is no free play in the keys (hammers move straight away when key is pressed), nothing sticks inside or anything and it sounds nice and is in tune. I just wish it would be as easy to play as the one in the shop.
So my question is: is it possible to make the finger touch lighter on my piano, and if so how much would this cost me.
should i get a tuner type person to come a give it a once over??
thanks very much in advance
