[CAUT] tone color

[David Love]

I wasn't suggesting you were it was more of a general comment about the soundboard hammer interdependence and what that may mean in terms of the piano's ability to produce different colorations at different levels. If the belly depends on having a very soft hammer that will have a real impact on what happens when you try and play the piano loud. I think that particular aspect is not being addressed in this discussion generally but is a very critical component in understanding how these bellies are responding.

I didn't try to. I just pointed out the difference between that piano, 
and any other in the area, and I was speaking of Rochester, though the 
Reno piano has a laminated board as well.
