Voicing

[Baldwin Yamaha Piano Centre]

Hi Lance,
                 It burnishes the corners off the groove, by listening you 
will soon determine if they need to come out of the groove.  If you move 
them, then hammer alignment may be a concern.
Just another group of those judgement calls we make daily.  No right or 
wrong answers.
Regards Roger
