"Crescendo front rail punchings replaced the spongy "shoe insole" material that came from the factory. What a difference" Floyd, your mention of the Crescendo punchings used on an upright is interesting - I've wondered myself if it would make much difference; the mentions on here seem to have been in relation only to grands. When you said "what a difference!" did you mean specifically from the Crescendo punchings, or from all the other bits too that you mentioned? I suppose with this piano, your work will bring it up to the limits of what's possible for it, get the best that's possible out of it, in terms of action responsiveness. It won't of course change soundboard and scale factors, but it will be very interesting to find out to what extent the piano becomes satisfying to play just through improving the action. Keep us posted David.
