Another aspect is that the firmness of the Crescendo Punchings retains a closer after touch between the dynamic range of playing. Believe it or not, I have demonstrated it many times... they focus the tone. Not always but mostly which is an improvement. There is a difference between the conical and straight sided punchings. I demonstrated this to a few people. The conical ones produced a more focused tone than the straight. An upside-down conical punching produced the same tone as a straight pinching. Go figgre. They don't benefit every situation, sometimes a softer punching is needed: Chickering Quarter Grands (my experience) and most verticals. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
