[CAUT] Crescendo punchings was RE: aftertouch

[Paul T Williams]

I'd be interested in how Jurgen's punchings differ from the ones at 
Pianotek?  I just used the last of my supply on a  Steinway B this 
morning, so I need to order some more! (Jergen, how do I set up an account 
with UNL? I have other stuffs I'm interested in?)  I love them! So do the 
real pianists here.  I don't bother with the uprights in practice 
rooms...they get what they have, unless they're wasted.

Paul  (Jurgen, email me at pwilliams4 at unl.edu.  If we have an account, 
then, my bad)

Thanks, Jurgen. It's useful to know that the current punchings may be 
different from the originals I tried. BTW, when one keeps trying for good 
results as I did, two sets of punchings can indeed be, and in this case 
were, put on more than 2 pianos. Just saying.

Kent has just forwarded me an invoice of a purchase of Crescendos from me. 
 I stand corrected - I did ship him some.  Those old files are on a 
retired computer, as that sale was over 5-1/2 years ago!

Anyone reading his post (including me!) misses out on this crucial 
information.   

That was the first generation of Crescendos, the felt recipe was tweaked a 
few times in the early years.   

As well, it would have been more correct to use the word "both" instead of 
"all" in his  post, as there were only two sets shipped.  The post implies 
more widespread and recent testing.  A more fair and accurate wording 
might have been "My experience, based on the two sets I installed five 
years ago was...."

I am not saying that Crescendo punchings are the only way to go in every 
single situation,  but Kent's across-the-board rejection is very singular, 
not only as postings to the list show, but in feedback from buyers and 
users to me as well.  (Never mind the sales figures)

I stand behind every product I sell, and if something simply does not work 
for someone, I am happy to take it back.  Simply let me know, within a 
reasonable time frame of course.  In this case, I might even consider 
extending that time offer...  ;^)
