Chris - I'm not sure your would want to try the "hammer" thing with it either. I tried it, briefly (I no longer own it) and was not comfortable with it, though I may not have allowed enough learning curve. I seem to remember that the needles tended to stick in the hammer felt. That and the brooding mistrust that my foot on the pedal truly cared enough about my fingers on the hammer. A quick look through my old Journals turned up nothing, though I remember there were ads for it in there for some time. As Ted Rohde said, it was called Ease-a or Ease-i-Voice. If you look back at the years that the National was in Washington DC or Philadelphia, I think you'll pin down the year, as I remember seeing it displayed then. David Skolnik
