  Stephane,

  Be sure the hammers are as smooth as you can get them!  Use =
progressively finer grades of sandpaper until you get them very smooth!  =
Gang filing with large sheets of sandpaper work best.  Virgil Smith made =
a fine presentation on this in Kansas City a few years ago.  The tone =
will sparkle without being harsh.  Of course, overly hard hammers may =
require some needling, but smoothness is absolutely essential to =
beautiful tone.

  The difficult, I do right away.  The impossible takes a little longer. =

    Hello.

    When I do the voicing of a piano, I am often confronted with this =
problem : how can I reduce the agressivity of the attack, without =
loosing the beautiful overtones in the body of the sound ?  When dealing =
with a set of hammers that sound agressive in a particular piano and =
trying to cure the agressiveness, I always end up with a mellow sound =
and substancial loss of power.  While some times, I have pianos that are =
and clear, and powerful, yet not agressive.  Any ideas ?  Thank you.
