Greetings Paul, I have been tuning for about 7 years. I first started my venture in voicing when I had tuned a spinet and it just needed that "something else" after I was done. I had heard about sugar coating and tried it and found improvement. Later, I was at a PTG regional and attended a voicing class held by Rodger Jolly. That taught me a heap of stuff; such as where/when to use longer mm and bigger diameter needles etc. I would suggest getting into a like class at a PTG convention, or maybe your chapter or a bordering PTG chapter has a seminar. Sometimes I get an invitation in the mail. Mere PTG membership gets your name on such mailing lists. Andre Oorrberck has a new book which has a CD that I never read, but I would like to get soon. I think that book sells for $80. Hope this info helps.

Are there sections that needs more hardening/needling? If hardening, what chemicals are working best? How much? If needling in any general sense, where and how much?
