Bedding, action regulation, seating strings to bridge and leveling with a slight lift at the front termination, and squaring off of hammers to strings can in themselves be viewed voicing prerequisites and can have significant impact on tone. I can echo Rogers experience relative to new instruments. Give it a good once over before begining to work the hammers. Cheers RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
