This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I've made a batch of plastic keytop in acetone and am about to put it on the new bass hammers that I installed in a Baldwin 6000. Even after filing and many hours of playing, these hammers sound like mooshy marshmallows floofing up against the strings. Questions: How much dope per hammer? Where should I put it on the hammers and where should I NOT put it? Any other dope dope appreciated. Side note: I did the Randy Potter course and have picked up much at PTG chapter meetings and from you wonderful people on the list, but mostly it's been on-the-job, on-my-own, and learn-from-your-mistakes for me over the last three years. But it sure seems that there is a not very short list of things that reeeeeally should be learned with tutelage--and this includes voicing. I think it just isn't sufficient to read about techniques; you have to hear examples and learn to listen to subtleties that just aren't present in 98.632% of the neglected pianos in rural America. Most customers can't really hear or appreciate the difference and won't be paying for it. So there is precious little practice opportunity. THIS piano, however, demands attention and resides in the practice hall of some very professional musicians of the 399th Army Band. So I must venture! Next conference, I'm going to spend the bucks and get into every voicing workshop I can! Alan R. Barnard Salem, MO --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
