Crescendo Punchings

[David Ilvedson]

Mark,

Welcome aboard...

You can go to the Piano Page and click on pianotech archives.   Search for Andre's punchings,   Crescendo punchings...etc.   
Although I have a couple samples, I haven't actually tried them yet....I keep forgetting...I need to keep them in my car.
