---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Ric For Phil Sake let's make the distinction and ask are these Ronsen Wurzen or Euro's? Each will be treated differently but traditional procedures are in order RIc your advice will work well on Ronsen Wurzens but with way less amounts of needling which is typical in the case with the Yankee version. Regards & welcome back Dale Erwin Nothing really magical here Mark. Traditional voicing proceedures work best with Wurzen felt pressed at reasonable levels. You should have to open up the hammers a bit in the middle sections, tho you shouldnt have to deal with any draconian needling proceedures. Usually somewhere between 20-40 deep needling stabs (with 3 needles in your tool) stagered up and down the shoulders is enough to get a fine basic first voice. Usually you end up with most of your needling in the midbass through the tenor and into the C5-C6 octave area. Lowest bass may need a bit of juice, and the highest range (at least from F7 upwards) usually always needs a bit of help. Get ahold of Andre for some very good specifics advice on needling. But in general your first voicing is about opening up the hammers for power and the basic tone picture you are after. Not much is done up close to the crown. Reshaping and mating is done, along with any string leveling needed before going on to the second voicing. I find it nice to wait over nite after the first voicing anyways.
