Andre's Front Punchings vs Schimmels

[AlliedPianoCraft]

I think I'll try these on my next piano. Are the 1mm front rail felt punching available to place under these?

  Quite a number of high end shops, rebuilders and institutions use Crescendo Front Rail Punchings, many of them exclusively. Typically, techs will order one set, then after a while, two more. Then, silence... Then the next order is half a dozen sets or a big bag of 1000 punchings. The demand is such that they are sometimes back ordered, like right now for example. Don't fret though, more are on their way. It just takes a while because the factory makes up the felt sheets on demand and then punches them out. They do not stockpile them.

  To date, there were two instances, including Kent's, where someone found the punchings too firm. All the other feedback from techs and players alike has been along these lines:

  I will soon be adding a second thickness of Crescendo Balance Rail Punchings, and I have plans to introduce special new regulating punchings to complement the whole system, later this year.

    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? David Ilvedson, RPT
