Don Mamino, I also wanted to thank you for your advice you gave me (see below), = and I wanted to add the following to maybe undo eventual grudges: I = remember an untunable YAMAHA, it was an experimental exemplar at the = Academy. As the outcome of each tuning became more and more crucial = for the wellbeing of my allready damaged nervous system, I received a = tip from the instructor, who was very experienced. He advised me = exactly the same. BTW, I prefer a BMW to a ford! > >The Kawai grands destined for Europe are normally voiced much brighter = than >for North America. This may explain some of the difference between your >experiences and ours. (I wouldn't think that the Kawai pianos are brighter >than the Yamahas, though) Hard hammers and bright tone do tend to excite >the duplex and aliquot scales more stongly, so I would still suggest that >you try muting those string sections during tuning. > >Don Mannino RPT, Manager >Kawai Piano Technical Support, US and Canada Friendly Greetings from: CONCERT PIANO SERVICE Andr=E9 Oorebeek Amsterdam, the Netherlands email address: oorebeek@euronet.nl =89 Where Music is no harm can be =89
