Grotrian Steinweg - to list or not to list?

[Andrew and Rebeca Anderson]

Michael,
It comes down to what you hear and like when you play the piano.  I 
had a client with a "Viennese" white Kimble grand with no "listing" 
cloth at all.  The back-scale was quite noisy, especially on the bass 
bridge to no benefit of the tone.  We agreed to try damping it and it 
was greatly improved.
If your piano is going to be in an intimate setting, you may be more 
sensitive to the back-scale sound than otherwise.  I have another 
client with a Knabe that had cloth throughout the back-scale.  Since 
this is yours, experiment away and do report. ;-)
