[CAUT] Gradually improving voicing

[Phil Bondi]

Thanks to all with the great advice. I'm going to address different 
responses here rather than send out individual emails.

It is a NY Steinway..an N class. I've been told the N class is the best 
they have..I'm sure I'll be corrected, but that's what I've been told.

Dale, the board is holding its own..typical killer octave concerns. The 
bass is great.

Dave Love: I sat in on a Steinway Voicing Seminar in Boca Raton last 
October given by Kent and some members of the C&A group. Your response 
closely resembles theres..stay close to the crown and don't use liquids. 
The hammers on this D are 8 years old, and they are slightly 
overstriking. They were installed shortly before I got there. The action 
flies. Steinway action.

Wim: The liquids I was suggesting were a softening agent..not 
lacquer..and Dave Love reminded me that NY Steinways don't need 
softening liquids..just needling.

I'll see the piano on Tuesday. I'll let you know how I make out.

Thanks to all,

Phil Bondi(Fl)
