TYPE="CITE">Okay, I will jump in here, against my better =
judgement...Just
how dry do you <BR>want these dampers? I really believe there is a =
limit to
how fast 1-2" of <BR>felt can stop the vibrations of a long piece of =
music
wire. Isn't some <BR>after-ring desirable? In harpsichords, =
especially in
the bass, it was <BR>considered mandatory. I believe that some =
after-ring is
okay, particularly <BR>if it's consistent. I know, I know, how much, =
you're
asking? Be creative, <BR>use your sensitivity. This is where art and =
science
blend. My two cents worth. <BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><BR>Thanks Mary, for =
you
input. I agree with your statement. But the problem isn't so much =
after ring,
but the inconstancies between them. If B1 is shutting off in .5 =
second, and C2
takes 1.5 seconds to quite down, that is a big difference. And that is =
the
problem. A little after ring on all the notes is a good thing. But a =
lot on
some, and a little on others, is annoying. And that is the problem I =
am trying
to solve. <BR><BR>Wim </FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
