That being said it seems to me that every time I have seen a really accomplished traditional voicer work on a set of good hammers on a nice instrument, the results are a bit longer lasting then an hour and a half serious work. Andre is the only one on this list I personally know who is in this class of voicers. Would be nice to hear his comments on this. RicB
