Hi to all: This past week we had our regular Phoenix Chapter meeting at the Quality Piano Co. Mike Boyd who hails from merry olde England, was in charge of the technical presentation. He gave an excellent demonstration of how to use OverDamper action Pianos to a good benefit (no, not for flower beds). Mike cleans them up, makes sure the action functions properly, spruces up the case and installs the Quiet Time system from PianoDisc. The hammers never hit the strings because of the installation of a hammershank stop rail. The action is regulated so that the keyboard has a normal feel to it. Now you have a piano that can sound great, play any of the great piano literature available on the PianoDisc system as well as the ability to create your own piano music with touch sensitive keys, and it looks like a piano, not just a keyboard. Mike begged us to refer any available "birdcage" pianos to him. He says they are very profitable. Jim Coleman, Sr.
