It certainly is. I'm not sure the volume goes up after the attack, 
but a lot of other stuff sympathetically kicks in after a second or 
so when the soundboard doesn't waste what energy there is. It 
gets... richer, like expecting milk and getting a shake.

  I like this description better.  It's is like more horsepower Or a
notch higher or whatever
 It's more better sounding.
than the Old design



 I got the plate back last Monday, looking like a 
cinder. I'd loved to have done some needed modifications, but It 
wasn't being fixed - just un-broke. Spent two long days and half of 
a third filling, sanding, spraying, lettering, sweating, and wishing 
I was somewhere else. 
  This is one reason I prefer the loch-n- stich repair.  These guys sell
do it yo sef repair kits & it doesnt' look that tough even with the
plate in the piano. Of course there is still the filling & usual body
work  to attend to after wards. I know people weld plates but the guys
at loch-n- stich say it really isn't possible or at least risky  Huh?
any way. 
. He'll get back 
to me... Yea. Maybe the next one I get in will be a real job. I'm 
curious how a mo-defiled M performs, but this one wasn't it.
  I'm just doing up the rib scale & cut-off  on an M now & I'm also
interseted in the outcome.
  After the stupefying success of the O I my enthusiasm is frankly 
 re- energized.  


Looking forward to KC to rest up for a couple of days. Might even 
get my hands clean by week's end.
   Have fun
   Dale
