I placed an order for compass needles for my chapter. Well I thought I was ordering 6 needles, but ended up ordering 6 - 12 packs. So, needless to say, I've got a s**t load of compass needles. If anyone is interested in purchasing any of these from me, just mail me a check. $2.00 each or $15.00 for a 12 pack. That's less than you would pay directly from Drafting Steals because I saved on the shipping of 72 needles. email privately for my address.

I am only confirming by first hand experience. The method does work, appears to have no deletrious effect, is different than simply sugar coating, and is an appropriate technique in the types of situations described. That I can report first hand. > > > Right..in the first hand experience department, having used the compass needle/peening and #10 needles in the crown as a followup fine tune a couple months after, I can report actually, as usual, the two techniques both work. The compass needle/peening opened up the hammer in a way which not only cut the harsh brittle bite, but actually allowed me to develop tone. The compass needle was not a cure all, "all you ever really need trick", but it opened the door for me further fine tune the crown directly. > > Something that I'm really appreciative of in both the compass needle and #10's (I use the #10's in a single needle arrangement, and have not had success yet with the 12's yet) , is that is lets me work dead center on the crown strike point, an area which we have been trained to avoid at the peril of eternal damnation. The result of this avoidance, in my view, is we often end up cutting only the nastiness of the attack, rather than actually creating tone. > > To my ear and mind, the attention being given to direct work in and on the crown here, is an important conceptual addition to the voicing discussion, ie, its not just about pain avoidance, but rather a creation of tone. > > Jim Ialeggio > > ------------------------------------------- > Jim Ialeggio > grandpianosolutions.com > Shirley, MA > 978 425-9026 > ------------------------------------------- > > > > > > ------------------------------------------- > > ------------------------------------------- > David Love RPT > www.davidlovepianos.com > davidlovepianos at comcast.net > 415 407 8320 > ------------------------------------------- > > > > > Reply to Sender : http://my.ptg.org/Go.aspx?c=PostReply&GroupId=43&SenderKey=6d3d3e11-cd2d-4c0e-8c2f-d2dbfc424f78&MID=227346&MDATE=746%3c47567&UserKey=45e57633-4b26-49be-ab51-f59f366358ff > > Reply to Discussion : http://my.ptg.org/Go.aspx?c=PostReply&GroupId=43&MID=227346&MDATE=746%3c47567&UserKey=45e57633-4b26-49be-ab51-f59f366358ff > > > > You are currently subscribed to ptg_pianotechbb as: alliedpianocraft at hotmail.com.
