---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment =20 David A. &Stephane So many details so little time ehh? Yes, David I agree develop a tonal memory & decide how to get what your=20 ears cry out for in the music this tone produces.=20 Stephane,I'll also add that strike point is so overlooked in the=20 prevoicing process I think one could teach a class about it. It doesn't matter what you do to the hammer if the thing isn't hitting=20 the right spot on the string. I find I must tweak every set of hammers I=20 install in the top two trebles & it isn't just stwys. It's Webers& Bechstei= ns &=20 Masons etc. you want the most tone from these sections then learn that 1 mm= is a=20 mile.=20 Most treble hammer lines are frequently not a line at all but a slight=20 curve,hoseshoe or lines that run in then out. I opened another can o Worms=20= huh? Consider that the string heights in many brands of pianos varies=20 significantly like as much as 3 to4 mm end to end yet the factory standard=20= boring spec=20 doesn't allow for this at all to my observations. So if all hammers are bor= ed=20 the same in a given set the treble will be overstriking or understriking &=20 an inaccurate strike point result. More fun is uneven & whacky regulation &= =20 varying geometric relationships. Dale Erwin Hello Dave. In addition to what you said, I would like to bring up the weight of the=20 hammer (considered as a voicing issue) and the strike point (considered in=20 the same way). I believe that those two variables affect much what happens= =20 when you put your needles in the hammer felt. Not to mention, of course,=20 how the acoustic body responds to all this, because at voicing time, it is=20 too late to alter that. Does anyone have guide lines as how to diagnose a too heavy or too light=20 hammer on basis of the sound it produces (instead of on basis of weight=20 control) ?
