[CAUT] change in vocing

[Jim Busby]

Hi Wim,

Sometimes I hear things different the next day. Come to think of it, I hear things differently when I move to the other side of the bench! 6 months is a long time. About that time and I'm re-surfacing the hammers, etc. Nothing weird happening.

Best,
Jim

I'm sorry, but I haven't been following the recent posts on voicing, so if my question has been answered, please forgive me, and I'll read the archives

One of my regular customers bought a new Seguri Kawai SG2 a year and a half ago. Shortly after she got it, someone from the factory came and did the concert prep, including voicing. Six months ago I tuned it for the first time, and noticed several notes could have used some tweeking as far as the voicing was concerned. She could not hear it until I pointed it out to her, and we agreed that I would do that at the next tuning, which was today. But as I was tuned, I could not hear any notes that needed voicing.

Back in my Alabama days, someone brought this up for discussion, and I think I remembered reading that voicing can change over a period of time, especially if there is a lot of humidity changes. But that is not what is happening here. Unlike most homes in Hawaii, this customer keep her house air conditioned all year long.

So what else could be happening here? Or is it normal for hammers to go in and out like this?
