My judgement is that pounding is an unneccesarry proceedure that lends itself quicker to instability then it does to the opposite. As far as the "5" above.. pounding has the least effect, hands down. But those who like this clobbering away at the piano and dont mind breaking more strings, keys, hammershanks, etc etc, ad absurdum.. by all means.. go for it. <grin> Richard Brekne
