Kudos to y'all. When I made that comment, I didn't think it would get =
the positive response that it has.<G> So far, I see that most of y'all =
are trying to get the tone that was so common in the 40's & 50's! Yahoo! =
I now know I'm not alone in this endeavor. My feeling is that most =
people, associated with music, get used to what they are subjected to, =
on a regular basis. And, this seems to "set" their perception of tone in =
the piano. I sad thing, IMO, is that most academic environs, have =
horrible "tin can" type pianos in their practice rooms, etc. and are =
really trashing our young musicians tonal perception.
Granted, for most modern music, of the "pop" venue, somewhat brighter is =
called for, IMO. However, the real problem lies in the perception that =
Bright translates into "projection", which just ain't true. (Kinda like =
an electric guitar player cranking up the volume to be heard and all =
that accomplishes is distortion, IMO. Oh well, at least there are those =
of us that strive for balance/tone/harmony.
