Been in one of Don's classes (I think he's an excellent teacher) but it =
was
only one session and more pre-voicing than voicing. And, as you say, =
Kawai
oriented. Hoping to see Roger Jolly's whole show (only seen the second =
part
of his) at National.
=20
Hope to meet you and many of our cyber-pals there, too. Met several
yesterday at the home office. I like piano people, I really do. So how =
come
it can get so nasty on the list, sometimes? ;-}

Alan,

It does take a lot of study--or, I should say, it takes a lot of doing =
and
listening.
=20

Nick Gravagne, Don Mannino and one of Kawai's master techs gave a really
excellent, clearly explained class on voicing (Kawais) last year in
Nashville. =20

Have you ever taken a voicing class by Wally Brooks?  Of course, his
presentation may have changed in the past 20 years......
:-)
=20
But, it was Wally who explained it the best to me *eons ago* and got me
going--where the hammer needs to be hard, where it needs to be soft, =
etc.
Power, attack, sustain, what kind of stitches to make with the needles,
reducing weight.  I was eager and ready, I had my information and went =
with
it.  I've found (my opinion!) that the basic rules pretty much hold true =
no
matter what hammer you're working on, BUT! the different types of =
hammers
require different approaches to accomplish those same goals.  You could
think of it sort of like variations on a theme (if you catch my drift).  =
Of
course, every once in a while you get a Surprise Symphony!  When that
happens, you reach into your voicing bag of tricks (I'm always adding to
mine) and find something that will work.

Much luck,
