Hi folks...

Sent this to both lists a yesterday but for some reason didnt pop up
on CAUT... so I'll try again.


Just thought I'd share this recording with you. Its a raw edit file
that
has not been to final mix yet, but gives a pretty nice yield of this
round 30 year old Hamburg D. I found it in a very well equipped sound
studio here in town... neglected and very nasty.  Rock hard hammers
and
glass shimmering falsness everywhere.  Seemed like there was still
quite
a bit of piano underneath all the icy glass sound... so I talked them
into letting me put in about 12 hours of basic voicing regulation
work.
A couple months later the local Big Band did a recording on it, I had
to
go and tune it and used a couple more hours evening out the voicing. I
got lots of nice comments back... but just today I first got to hear
the
raw edit recording.  A couple more CD's have been played in since on
this instrument and I have to admit its pretty darn nice.  Serial
number
471XXX.
