This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi, list. I don't know if this is relevant, but I would like to share this = experience with list. I have a wonderful old Bechstein grand 7 ft 8 in = from 1877, with a real great acoustic potential, in my opinion. I am = now voicing it to the best I can. I strugled with a kind of = agressiveness problem, trying to localise where I had to needle in the = hammers to get it right. For some reason, I took out of the piano the = damp chaser system it had, and this appeard to solve my problem. In = fact, the system was installed high in between the wooden frame blocks, = and the plastic cover of the system was slightly pushing against the = soundboard. This appeard clearly to dampen the fundamentals of all = notes, giving the feel of less sustained and more agressive sound. Wouldn't you expect a soundboard spring to cause the same kind of sound = problem ?
