Voicing an lold piano/Corte/Carl Meyer

[Carl Meyer]

Keith.  I do as well.  I would perhaps use larger pulleys if I ever make
another one.  Mine are on a half inch shaft and can rotate.  Large one for
double wound, small for single wound.  Don't use it much anymore, but might
for desperate situations.
