The hammers were hard and the piano was overbright as it has been under heavy use for a couple months without any attention given to the voicing. I tend to be really carefull about making big changes and this was no exception. I just took enough out to get that glassy zing out of the picture... mostly noticable on very soft play. On loud play there is nearly the same amount of brilliance... but minus that "crashy extra" that accompanies over hard hammers. RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
