Well, of course you may be right, and you are'nt the first I
have heard make this comment, but I won't know for sure
until I have mastered the style. That being said it seems to
me that every time I have seen a really accomplished
traditional voicer work on a set of good hammers on a nice
instrument, the results are a bit longer lasting then an
hour and a half serious work.

Andre is the only one on this list I personally know who is
in this class of voicers. Would be nice to hear his comments
on this.
