[CAUT] Fwd: [Experts] Voicing of high bass on Steinway L

[Wimblees at aol.com]

I got this from a customer on the "ask the experts" list. Anyone have some  
advice I can pass on.

I know  the Steinway L\'s high bass section is notorious for being 
problematic, but I  am looking for advice from someone who has had success in getting an 
excellent  transition from the B to the Bb - i.e. retaining the \"buzz\" from 
the C28 and  B27 through to the Bb26 and A25 and minimising the sound that 
makes it  painfully obvious they are short bass strings.

Just today I heard an  old Steinway L that had the *exact* the tone I was 
looking for: the highest  notes matched the low tenor extremely well, I was very 
surprised in fact. A  full tone with some (good) buzz. I\'m fairly certain 
they were original  strings.

So, I\'m assuming there must be someone out there who knows  what I\'m 
talking about and has some advice for voicing the hammer to get this  tone (as best 
as possible, at  least).
