Dale, I didn't have time Friday to finish assessing the problem. I'll be looking at hammer-string mating (string levelling etc.), terminations, bridge pin seating (bridges weren't replaced), dampers (overextended felt possible but didn't look like it) etc. I presumed cupping because several middle unisons are different then the outside unisons. Again, other possible issues have to be eliminated before going to hammer voicing. There is very good sustain in the high treble. I'm caught between tuning the attack phase or tuning the sustain because it is so long. By the way, the hanging job looks great, better alignment and travel then I've seen on some makes. Regulation much better than I've seen from some stores. The case is exquisite minus a gash thanks to the delivery guy. The plate is beautifully detailed etc. Decal on the soundboard looks original. Neat coils on the stringing job and so on. The customer and I are very happy. The grunt work is done and now I'm busy dialing the piano in. Can buy that too, I understand, but I've got to justify markup to myself. ;-) Andrew At 12:27 AM 5/14/2005 -0400, you wrote: > Andrew > I've used these hammers for over ten years .Call me I'd be willing to > talk you thru it.
