listening to the tone, or do you have some other slick techniques for =
determining optimal strike points in various areas along the scale?

Perhaps my ears are just not yet refined enough (likely enough), but =
while I can easily hear MAJOR differences in tone in the high treble =
when moving the action in and out, well, let's just say its not as =
obvious to me in the lower registers of the piano.
