That works for me.=20 =20 Is the bore distance correct on this piano? We had a D that just didn't work right and Ron Conners suggested the stack needed to be raised slightly. It worked. =20 Jim Busby BYU =20 ________________________________ From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of Barbara Richmond Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 12:21 PM To: College and University Technicians Subject: [CAUT] Keydip--how deep =20 Hi folks, =20 I've had some private correspondence with a few about this, but what the heck, I'll go public to get a few more opinions. =20 Just wondering how deep you are willing to go with the key dip on a Steinway D. I'm trying to decide when to sacrifice blow distance for comfortable dip--or making the dip deeper than I like to eek out more blow distance. =20 =20 I suppose what it really comes down to is how much difference in power there would be between 1 7/8" blow and 1 3/4"? Significant? This is a really big hall (a bit less than 3500 seats), so power is an issue. =20 =20 Right now (with Crescendo punchings) dip is at .401" (my .391 block with a .010" punching added), blow around 1 3/4" with .030" aftertouch. It feels a lot better <to me> than when the blow was at 1 7/8", though I didn't have any complaints when the dip was deeper. I did go back and read a bunch of stuff in the archives about dip and folks reported that they didn't have complaints about deep dip, but I don't recall anyone getting real specific about how deep they were actually willing to go. =20 Thanks for sharing your experience, =20 Barbara Richmond, RPT =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
