Who was that masked man? :D Again people- thank you all for your constant posts about this. I think it's all *quite* interesting indeed. I know Glenn was uhhhh... "neurotic" about some stuff (and I'm neurotic too, so I can say that...) and it's kinda sad that he didn't want to "let go" of his favorite piano. (I just wish his hammers had let-go from the string!) It kinda makes the recording sad in a way now. :( Strange is On Feb 27, 2006, at 4:06 PM, David Ilvedson wrote: > Increases repetition, decreases power...lacquer up those > hammers...fast rock and roll...;-] > > > > David Ilvedson, RPT > Pacifica, California > > > > ----- Original message ---------------------------------------- > From: A440A@aol.com > To: caut@ptg.org > Received: 2/27/2006 7:35:05 AM > Subject: Re: [CAUT] Re: Glenn Gould/Bach Stuff > > > > >> << With a shallow dip, any variation in hammer tail filing, check >> alignment >> might be very critical.
