I've heard some beautiful recordings on = Yamahas that were very un Yamaha like in their overall impression. Recording = has gotten so sophisticated lately in terms of the ability to manipulate = tone so I'm generally reluctant to draw any conclusions that way.=20 =20 David Love davidlovepianos@comcast.net=20 -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] On = Behalf Of Erwinspiano@aol.com Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2006 7:04 PM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Re: Soundboard Resonces and the Wogram Article =20 David I hear what your saying & I agree. I'm not sure this answers any of = your 2 question directly but I just listened to a CD of Ron Overs piano. A 71/2 ft played by Scott Thile. Scott is a very talented player but the other real talent is in Ron & his piano. I have listened to many good = to horrible piano recordings & most probably Steinway Ds so I have a good = feel for this sort of thing. At first I though it wasa really good D but then = as I listened closely I realized how purely powerful & clear the tone was. Especially the top four treble octaves. The whole piano was good but Rachmaninoff really showcases the trebles & they shined.=20 Pure tonal power. Oh...My ...Gosh. The Rachmaninoff was gorgeous = but the pianist had a lot to work with. Quite a good recording & the sound = was what I personally have always hoped for intuitively. The recording = subdued the bass a bit but still the whole piano was a dream. A preferable sound? Oh yeah Baby!! Dale Erwin My experience so far is that the RC&S boards with cutoff and fish etc., = are better, but different. By better, I mean more predictable, better = success rate, fewer quirky things like killer octaves, dead trebles, unsmooth transitions, thuddy low basses, distortions in the tenor, strange resonances, dead spots. There are some qualities that change and my = attempt in all this is to understand why and whether those other intangibles are also controllable. =20 David Love davidlovepianos@comcast.net=20 =20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
