Dear Bill and other string war veterans
As  you can see from all the discussion this is an ongoing and somewhat =
modern problem we're all having .  It's so annoying that I've all but =
given up on certain churches in our area and it's not because the're =
"Spirit Filled" Or other wise. I'll let God be that judge ! I truly =
believe the problems and solutions you all  offered are right on and =
affective But the root problem is that since the intro. of electric =
instruments into the church  worship setting Pianists have responded by =
playing at louder and more physical levels.  I know you all know this =
.It's an  obvious Duh Dale but even with all the solutions the problem =
may not go away .The response to anyone wanting a permanent fix is that =
as long as the piano is being played beyond it's design parameters  and =
physical limitations I (you) can not guarantee  that kind of assurance.
That being said I have performed all the recommened cures.   My best =
sucesses have come from using the Isaac hammer to defeat the  metal =
fatigue factor or other such softer types of hammers and G.C. bass =
strings which are very well scaled.That followed with sage advice to the =
music meister of said institution I.E. YOU MUST USE ADEQUATE MIKES AND =
MONITORS AND MAYBE EVEN BAN CERTAIN INFAMOUS PIANO THUMPERS FROM THE =
KEYBOARD( said in a very serious and athoratative way)  Mostly I feel a =
sadness that the era of piano music and piano led hymn singing in the =
church may be drawing to a close.
        My success rate has been good with the above cures , about 90% =
with only one major offender excommunicated from our fold for loud pedal =
technique abuse.You know mashed down to the floor no matter what =
aaaahhhhhhhh  watch out flying missile!!!!!!!!!!
    Dale the missel Killer        =20
