Horace: But I need to understand more specifically some of the "why's" . Like, if a soundboard is spruce and a bridge is maple, what makes the difference if it's on a Weber of a Steinway? Or why does one piano made by company Z sound horrible, and another, same model, made, perhaps two days later, sound marvelous. Why does a string on the Steinway M,B, or D sound absolutely clear, and the string on the little console has "noise"? From whence comes that "noise". Strings, at least the treble strings aren't all that different, are they? It is not fair to talk much about "crown" because there are a lot of pianos with zero crown which sound perfectly wonderful. I don't want to be an engineer, but I really need descriptives in order to understand for myself. I've certainly learned each piano has its own personality. Thanks for your reply. Do you have more words, words, words???????????? leslie Leslie Bartlett M. Mus Houston Chapter PTG lesbart@juno.com
