Horace writes: <<is it possible that some judicious shoulder needling <possible path to the inferno snipped>> Yes, I considered that,and mistakenly suggested it. Was told by big faculty member that he "liked it where it was". so....... I think I will begin my own program on the hammers, sort of like you suggested, but since I have just completely changed the hall acoustics, will wait for the next faculty meeting, and see if the changes have not only "brightened" up the hall, a lot, but perhaps have caused the pianos to seem harsh?(I tipped the big acrylic, acoustic disks that hang over the stage; VA VA Varooom!! we got hall sound and a little 'ring' for the first time in 18 years!) If I can get them to this point, and all the voice and woodwind faculty like the new setting, perhaps there is a face-saving way for me to get the go- ahead and bring the pianos down. I'll see what happens. Regards, Ed
