Dear list, 

Does anyone have personal experience with the Wapin bridge? Also, how about 
the Fazioli "Magnetic Balanced Action"? I have S & S D that I may want to 
make improvements on.

At last year's Central West Regional Seminar, Tim Coates put the Wapin
bridge on in the "killer' octave, (the next to last section on the top), on
my 7 Baldwin grand, which I had just got done rebuilding. The seminar also
included Wally Brooks doing his voicing class on the same piano, on which I
had put the Abel hammers. 

Wally's voicing improved the tone of the piano significantly. But after Tim
got done with the installation, the difference in the tone in that section
was astounding. Baldwins are known for their dead upper section. But this
piano sings like a bird up there. The participant in the class were very
impressed, as was I. 

I would highly recommend you have this procedure done.

Wim,
 
Thanks for the response. I think I would like to try it.
