Thanks John, 
I agree, 15 opinions from 10 techs etc. I did look up the info on steam
in last yrs PTJ.  By the way, Don Dusenberry are you out there? I was 
shocked to find out Don was not with PianoDisc any longer.  I went to
the Orlando convention hoping to do the class on PianoDisc servicing,
but apparently there was not enough interest to do it.

Also, regarding voicing in general...to all in general...what is your
vote on voicing techniques in the following scenario:
A concert hall with different artists every week, maybe daily, each of 
whom want the piano voiced up or down according to the music being
played.  

What's the best way to bring it 'up' and 'down' with consistency and
control?  How about a combination of steam to bring it up,  and hammer
ironing to bring it down?
