Jurgen Goering was here too (we had a lot of fun, but he is now back in Vancouver) and we were both (along with a befriended colleague) smashed with the result. The high treble had definitely more 'ping' and the hammers in the middle section required hardly any voicing, so all in all the voicing took maybe 30 minutes. As I described before : A regulation and a tuning. a little colodion in the last 5 treble hammers. Getting rid of the cups. String leveling and some hammer/string mating. 20 to 30 stitches in the middle section. Evening out the transition from bass to lower treble. Needling up the first 10 bass hammers. That was it. Just amazing..... I am waiting for the next hammer sets but they (Renner Germany) don't have the felt. #$%&*$@?! friendly greetings from André Oorebeek Antoni van Leeuwenhoekweg 15 1401 VW, Bussum the Netherlands tel : +31 35 6975840 gsm : +31 652 388008 www.concertpianoservice.nl "where Music is, no harm can be" -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
