[CAUT] Lack of low-frequency response

[Porritt, David]

David:

I got a box of these and I've installed 5 so far.  I put 2 on a D that
had severe killer-octave-itis and it made a dramatic difference.  The
other 3 pianos (with one each) it made more of a subtle difference but
it was a help.  The main trouble with them is that normally the place
where the sounding board needs that additional support is the most
difficult place to install them.  I think one should have a body at
least 15 years younger than mine but if you're stubborn (I am) and you
close the shop door so no one can hear you speak 4-letter-word
incantations it can be done.  

I think these are going to prove to be one of the better, cost effective
killer octave remedies available.

You bought a box of 10?  From whom, might I ask--just in case I don't
want
to have to make them myself.

Try the Fandrich Riblets to add stiffness. I recently received my box of
10
and am looking/waiting for a victim.
