When M&H resurrected, I was as impressed as the noisy hall would let me be with the sound of the pianos. Mellow, deep, and rich, at least as compared to the high partial attack clang of most everything else in the exhibition hall. I was happy to hear something sounding anywhere near what I think a piano ought to sound like. With every new year thereafter, they got more shallow, strident, and painfully loud. I asked, and the answer was that this is what consumers want. I sure hope not. or my customers that like my voicing, and I, are in the wrong universe. Yea, yea, I know, there's documentation to that effect already. > The solutions are suck it up,try alcohol and water, needle till blue in > face and then suffer when it rebounds.

That's the ticket. Surely, dumping huge quantities of time into poking holes can eventually improve them somewhat. Artillery indeed. Ron N
