Tom, Just out of curiosity, if you don't mind, what did you end up doing in relation to voicing on the crown? Avery >I am happy to report that the voicing of the hammers has succeeded! The >piano sounds as nice as any of the best that I've ever heard! > >I also had an opportunity to speak with Tom Kaplan, who is Yamaha's >service consultant here on the East Coast. Tom suggested that I had >overneedled the shoulders. That was congruent with what I was hearing: >all I had left was a hard wedge of felt at and below the striking point. > >After further consideration, I used some Supertone on the shoulders. It >brought the hammers almost exactly to where I wanted them to be! Once >the shoulders were rehabilitated, the hammers again were working as a >unit. > >This is a great lesson, and I would like to again thank all of you who >have responded. I hope that I can help in a similar fashion in the >future! > >Best regards, > >Tom Sheehan, RPT _____________________________________ Avery Todd, RPT Moores School of Music University of Houston 713-743-3226 atodd@uh.edu http://www.uh.edu/music/ _____________________________________
