<html> <body> Hi Wim,                  Have the hammers been recently reshaped?   If the strike surface of the hammer is even in density you will hear little or no difference. If you have some string grooves just stating to form, you should hear a big difference.  Regards Roger At 09:33 PM 3/19/2005, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""> I have another question regarding the pedaling. As I said on one of my posts, I really don't hear any difference when the piano player squeezes the pedal just a hair, or goes to one of about four different position, other than fully depressed. On a properly voiced hammer, there isn't supposed to be any harsh sounds. But what I am hearing is all the same sound, until the string hits only 2 strings. Shouldn't the piano player also be trying to play a little different when using the una corde? I mean, it doesn't seem to do much good to press the pedal, while still playing at the same volume. Isn't that defeating the purpose, a little? That's like stepping on the brake while accelerating.   Wim </blockquote></body> </html>
