Dave,

That technician did have some new techniques that seemed to lack the ability
to tie into the scientific method of cause and effect. A little magic dust
kind of treatment, but a classy guy, yes?

Dan, being at the Kawai demonstration with you I thought I might bring up
the 
fact that the Kawai technician stated and tried to demonstrate the idea that
almost anything done to an action affects the pianos tone, even backcheck
angle (not changing the checking point).  He even tried to demonstrate that
if you put a little teflon powder on the back check below the hammer catch
point it would change the tone of that particular note.  It was an
interesting but highly subjective demonstration.  I came away very
skeptical. 
Have you or anyone on the list explored this avenue?
