Been wondering about ol Jim myself. He hasnt posted much since he came down sick a couple three years back. As for the Grotrian. I'm with you. I prefer them with braided. Actually wouldnt hesitate to mute off the front segments as well, at least as far as the capo bar. Tho you can go too far me thinks. Tho it all ends up being a matter of what you want and how you are trying to do it. You got Grotrians <<maxed out duplex idea>>, Bechsteins <<none at all>> thinking, and a whole host inbetween doing more or less what Steinway does.

I looked at those posts you listed...been awhile since Jim Coleman Sr. has posted...;-[ David I.
