Sounds like I should talk to my real-life tech friends, and find out whether they think I should put some $ into hammers and other action parts, or put even more $ into another piano. > When you have $5,000 or more to spend, then you might get the piano of > your dreams. Definitely play a Charles Walter if you think that pianos > under 52" don't sound big enough. I played a few C Walters, and they sounded too small. I'd like to try a 50" Astin-Weight. A Baldwin 6000 came close to what I would want (except wound strings too high), and a Steinway K-52 is pretty good in the tenor, but a little lacking in the bass. -- Stephen Airy stephenairy@fastmail.fm
