Will RCT do this? (was Proposal off-topic)

[Tony Caught]

Hi Ed or

Dear Mr Foote,

Agreed. The una corda method would work on most pianos but not the new
Yamahas.

>From what I have read (on list ?) the new method for regulating the una
corda is to still have the hammer strike three strings, but a softer part of
the hammer. All this to stop the sympathetic string from vibrating sideways
and buzzing on dampers or something like that.

But what about the pianist and the different sound you get with the third
string ringing in sympathy as against being struck.

PS Me ? I just delete delete delete.  The list will settle down again when
the newbies get tired of it.
