New Ronsen Wurzens

[RicB]

Hi Tom

Thats been pretty much my experience with the sets of Wuzsens I get from 
Andre so far.  This last set required a bit of needling in the area from 
C5 to C7.  Otherwise it was rather easy going with the needling to 
simply open things up.  The lowest 10 - 12  bass tones will need some 
help methinks getting bright enough, and perhaps the highest 4-5 notes 
as well.  But quite a bit needed only a slight cushion.

btw... the fellow who owns that Bluthner I mentioned earlier on today 
called a bit earlier this evening.... get this.... on the verge of tears 
because he was so moved by the sound of his piano. He agreed about the 
bass... but the rest of the piano sounded so wonderful... but most of 
all he couldnt get over the new <<touch>> of  the instrument.  Now this 
is the interesting part as I took great pains to keep the basic 
touchweight and hammer mass very much the same.  I did even out to a 
smooth strike weight, and I did make sure the key balance was 
appropriate for the SW curve and SW ratio.  His reaction to the touch is 
almost all because of how these hammers <<feel>> off the strings.

Cheers
RicB
