Andre's Front Punchings vs Schimmels

[Tom Servinsky]

Dave
I would echo your comments about the punchings. I personally like the landing as it gives a very clean and precise ending to the keystroke.

  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....:-)

  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.

    Which begs the question: after all this time, who is routinely 
    putting in Andre's front punchings?
