While you can "look away" from a bright light, you can't "listen away" from a loud sound. Yet, I think some of these people have kind of learned to "listen away" as they seem detached somehow from the sound they are making. Yes, the worst one I had here was doing all this in a small practice room with an "M". An "L" would really crowd the room. dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 6/20/2003 at 12:08 PM Conrad Hoffsommer wrote: >At 11:46 6/20/2003 -0500, you wrote: >>One of our string breakers breaks more when the hammers are softer. >>He wants that sfffffz to sound sfffffffffffz and if the hammers are >>soft you just have to hit it harder! >> >>dave > > >1.
