Does sound a bit fantastic.... to put it mildly. But next time you run into a grand that has obviously high checks you can try this out. Take any old note...maybe say A4 :), get a sense for its volume and compared with its neighbors. Run a few chromatics up and down. Then lower its back check to exactly 2 mm under the tail at drop and listen again. See what you think. I dunno, maybe you wont buy it then too. Maybe its like the proverbial green light at that last millisecond of sunset at sea..... But I do know what I heard. > Sorry I don't have something more positive to offer as an explanation > for optimal checking=louder tone.
