I'm confused on how a punching can affect tone. Could somebody please enlighten me!! I may have to try them. Thanks Paul piannaman at aol.com Sent by: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org 02/05/2008 08:57 AM Please respond to Pianotech List <pianotech at ptg.org> To pianotech at ptg.org cc Subject Re: Andre's Front Punchings vs Schimmels Though I don't replace as many punchings as I'd like with the Crescendos, I have done several pianos. Every one of them has showed a remarkable improvement in both touch and tone, as well as ease of regulation. The point of let off and end of aftertouch have far better definition. I have had them in my M and H AA for a couple of years now, and have nothing negative to say about them. As others have pointed out, some people might not like the "hard" landing, and they might not be suitable in certain instruments. If you haven't used them, I highly recommend trying them. I first tried them in an action model and even there, one could feel a marked difference...though the tone off the faux string/metal rod didn't improve much....:-) Dave Stahl Dave Stahl Piano Service dstahlpiano.net -----Original Message----- From: Richard Brekne <ricb at pianostemmer.no> To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Tue, 5 Feb 2008 12:48 am Subject: Andre's Front Punchings vs Schimmels Try asking Jurgen about that. He sells them under the name Crescendo. And Stephen Birkett posted some real interesting high speed photography showing the stability and response they have compared to standard cloth punchings... white or otherwise. If you haven't tried them... well do. Cheers RicB Which begs the question: after all this time, who is routinely putting in Andre's front punchings?
