Oorebeek Dear Andre, I must admit that the results of trying one punching on the vintage Steinway was not really a valid experiment and that reporting that result was simply a flip way for me to support my own initial negative gut reaction to the crescendo punching which I had just seen for the first time. The experiment which I have just described and proposed with the Mason & Hamlin BB with a performing Steinway Artist is the type of experiment we should be reporting on. Most importantly we must hear the words of the pianists... Sorry I got you so wound up.. I still feel that woven felts have a place in pianos and would love to see you have some really fine quality Wurzen wovens made with the high quality fiber.... Long live Merino sheep! Sincerely, David Stanwood
