Actually... they dont.  I watched with my own eyes these fellows and if 
you loosen them up right, they sound great and stay that way. That 
said... its a lot of work and I still dont understand why they press 
them so hard to begin with. Seems like a lot of extra work for no real 
good reason. A certain degree of tension in the hammers is for sure 
needed if one is to approach voicing in the traditional manner.... but 
beyond that I dont get it.
