I have used one set of Naturals, but they were for an upright. It was a partially rebuilt big old American upright, and for some reason the previous tech had restrung the piano but didn't do anything to the action. The original hammers had aged distinctly in the "honky-tonk" direction tone-wise. The new set of Naturals actually seemed TOO soft/mellow, but it might have just been the stark contrast. I also figured they would brighten up with time, and the client was happy with how they sounded, so I left them alone. I have not been back for a follow up tuning yet, so I don't know how they have settled in. So anyway, I am somewhat surprised to hear people describe them as overly hard. -k -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
