Everyone is talking about how hard Yamaha hammers are, yet I worked on a C7
where they were too soft. Any advice on how to bring up the brilliance once
it's too low?

   So we consider thousand jab needling to be
  a voicing technique that is reserved for that special category of hammers
  that have apparently been quarried rather than manufactured, and yet must
  be brought somewhere near the edge of usability by whatever means we have
  available to us.  As far as I'm concerned, if the manufacturer didn't want
  the piano to sound like a Xylophone on steroids, they would have put on a
  decent hammer in the first place.

     Well said Ron. I personally think if we all boycotted voicing this type
of hammer under the umbrella of technician abuse we could probably get on
the 6 ocklock news complaing of tennis elbow tnedonitis & hearing loss. Jump
in osha!! Yes we could all carry placards & we could force the big Piano
factories to Use more user /body freindly hammmers. Petrified felt would
become extinct overnight...like the dinosaurs.hhmmmm right. I'm holding my
breath some more. Bye
     Dale
