Voicing the CFlll

[Phil Bondi]

Thanks as always for the tips and suggestions.

There's been a few of you who say stay away from the steam..and my 
question is...why?

Isn't the Yamaha hammer the same hammer that, in my experiences, has 
shown a dramatic affect on tone and voice using this technique? I'm not 
talking about making the hammers mush..I'm talking about 1second at the 
shoulders to start to loosen things up.

I don't mean to stir the pot here, but when someone tells me no, I would 
like to know the reason why your opinion is no, or why your experiences 
say no..I really prefer the experienced voice over the opinion, but I 
will listen to both, obviously.

..and yes, FFF on this instrument sounds distorted to me..my test for 
tuning stability involves hard-playing block triads played chromatically 
for 5 measures..it's not sounding good to my ears right now..MF all the 
way down to PPP sounds solid and consistent, outside of the voice itself.
