---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Liszt, I have a job coming up where I'll be working on a Seiler 180(5 10" grand). I'll be at it all day, easing, lubing, regulating, tuning, and voicing. These are really well-built German pianos, with Renner blue hammers, and full Renner actions, etc., etc. I'm sure someone on this list has experience with these pianos. I've worked on quite a few, but not to this extent. I've tuned many, and done minor regulations on several, but have never voiced one. I'm actually surprised that nobody has asked me to voice because there are some really harsh overtones that emanate from the piano above the treble break. I've muted some in the past by lacing felt through the strings and wedging it under the capo bar, with some success. The customer knows about this method, but would prefer it voiced down, or so he says. My main concern in this whole deal is that I've seen the results of a tech trying to "voice down" that section on a different piano. The hammers are ruined. They look like pin cushions, and sound like them too. Can anyone offer advice on the voicing of these instruments? M. Orobeek?? Anyone?? I've got a call in to the Seiler rep. I'm certain he's heard this complaint before. I'm curious what the company has to offer in terms of a fix. Thanks in advance for any and all input, Dave Stahl ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
