It must be that MY English is failing me and I am most probably 
mistaken.
If so, I aoplogize.
I think it has to do with your suggestions about softer front punching, 
to which I initially answer that that is a personal choice.

That's how they taught me to do it, I can't help it, but still favor 
that way.
It is also the only way to "help" a pianist when he/she asks for a 
softer landing. That is not the moment to insert softer punching, but 
the moment to raise the hammers 1 mm and thereby create a safer moment 
of let off and drop, and at the same time a softer "landing".

Oh come on Davis, it is just getting more and more interesting.
During heated discussions, mistakes are made and corrected again.
The whole point is to come to a consensus where we all agree about 
these important issues.
I am not your enemy but just a colleague in Holland.

Here... how about a restful pic of dawn in Udipi, India.
I was just there and had a unbelievable time.
