Greetings Paul,
I have been tuning for about 7 years. I first started my venture
in voicing when I had tuned a spinet and it just needed that "something else"
after I was done. I had heard about sugar coating and tried it and found
improvement.
Later, I was at a PTG regional and attended a voicing class held
by Rodger Jolly. That taught me a heap of stuff; such as where/when to use
longer mm and bigger diameter needles etc. I would suggest getting into a
like class at a PTG convention, or maybe your chapter or a bordering PTG
chapter has a seminar. Sometimes I get an invitation in the mail. Mere PTG
membership gets your name on such mailing lists. Andre Oorrberck has a new book
which has a CD that I never read, but I would like to get soon. I think that
book sells for $80. Hope this info helps.

I'd be interested in what people are finding that they have to do to
prepare them for any kind of fine voicing. Are there sections that needs more
hardening/needling? If hardening, what chemicals are working best? How much? If
needling in any general sense, where and how much?
Paul
