Mark & Dale, IMHO we're dealing with an ever-increasing number of people that have a hearing loss, due to our VERY NOISY society. It's a pity, but alas I believe this to be one of the major reasons for the sale of loud, brassy sounding instruments. The other reason is a little less blatant in appearance, but is, in my opinion, part of the problem. That being, recording studios have a distorted idea of what a piano is really supposed to sound like. So, we are subjected to improperly EQ'd recordings. This is rampant throughout the recording industry. Methinks to many reformed Rock musicians have gotten tired of playing and are now in the studios, with their poor hearing! Just this guy's opinion. Flame suit properly adjusted. <grin> Regards, Joe Garrett, Oregon
