[pianotech] Thubby Chipboard, was: Flagpoling

You're both wrong. The tubbyness came from the hammer flanges with broken loops

Okay, so the little Yamy had a "thubby" sound. What leads you to conclude it was because of the chipboard (more than likely MDF) cabinet core? Personally, I'm quite sure any "thubby" sounds were a direct result of the plastic keytops - anyone knows plastic will never sound like ivory.

And please allow me to add, briefly, that I had a HORRIBLE experience with flagpoling pins in a Georgia-built Yamaha P-22 upright once that was so bad it made tuning nearly impossible. Caused by extremely tight tuning pins and perhaps the wrong type of steel, in combo. (It also had a chipboard cabinet core, which made it sound "thubby". )
