Ric, Dave, others, The piano faculty there until now just had the piano "tuned", they were rather surprised about how much difference a "technical" can make. Didn't realize that there was more to a piano than "tuning" & maybe that black-art called voicing. That said, it still is not as good as I made another local D because of the previous-mentioned problem. All previous work was apparently done by the rarely available and inaccessible dealer technician with little comment or explanation. They can't really tell me much about its history. It was selected new by the professor and he says if he had it to do over again he would choose differently. He says he wished he had selected a "crisper" action but that what I have done has gone a long ways towards that goal. A donor funded the purchase. The professor just played (last night) the Beethoven 5th piano concerto on two weeks notice because the original soloist was unexpectedly deployed (military). He did a beautiful job of interpreting the work. He commented on how much more responsive the piano was and how it doesn't wear him out like it used to. (Wurzen punchings to the rescue.) I'm going to carefully measure string height, flange height, action spread, gap to fall-board and above fall-board and gap to the pinblock. Are there any other measurements that would facilitate this discussion? Andrew Anderson At 10:37 AM 10/9/2006, you wrote: >Terry > >Grin.... I love it. That said...
