---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Don What part of the scale were your samples placed in & how many sticks on average was achieving the desired effect?. This sounds like the description of battery voicing Andre had outlined.. I'll try this. Thanks Dale I put some samples of the Ronsen hammers with Wurzen felt on a Kawai piano for use in a voicing seminar in North Carolina a couple of weeks back. I think those who heard them in the class would agree that they sounded very nice. The initial tone was a little too soft, so I first shaped them a little to get a more uniform shape (they were a little lopsided) and fit the strike point to the strings. They still needed a little more, so I filed them with 1,000 grit sandpaper a little up and over the strike point. This helped a little more. Finally I deep needled them at the widest point - 9 and 3 O'clock, with the needles pointing up towards the tip of the molding, but not passing over the molding. This increased the power quite a bit, and the class agreed that they didn't need any more. Don Mannino RPT ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
