<DIV><FONT size=3> Hi Vince</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> I think it has more to do with the=
pressed felt over the woven felt. On the other hand it=
reasonable to think that springiness in felt is, well...=
springiness. I'm not clear about that I only know what I heard=
& felt on my D. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> I think Ric's comment about =
the key stick acting more like a catapult where the front=
end comes down on something solid and stays put even though the=
back of the key still may be in a slight state of flux,does=
makes some rational sense of what I think I'm perceiving. I=
can't wait for more experience with this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> If you have a piano that's=
familiar to you & you know it's sound well & all you do=
is change the punchings & there's a tonal change then this=
is the perfect A-B comparison to be relied upon as proof. It's a=
repeatable experiment.</FONT></DIV>

wonder if pre-compressing the punching's would give similar=
results ... pre-compressing by stringing the punching's on=
a slender threaded rod, then with washers between the punching's=
and wing nuts, squeeze the whole thing together by tightening=
the nuts, and storing them that way until=
needed.<BR><B><I>Erwinspiano@aol.com</I></B> wrote:</FONT>=
