List:

At times, I hear a thread about making unisons less than perfect to give
more sustain, body, color etc.  I have been a piano tech for 24 years
and I have never done a unison I thought was TOO clean.  I have never
tried to make anything but as precise a unison as I could.  I have also
never heard anyone else's unison that was too clean.

Where did this idea come from?  It seems totally foreign to me.  If
clean is good, then there is no such thing as "too clean."  Right?!?!
