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.

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.

Cheers
