Hi RIc & all I was gone sat helping fellow RPT Chuck Hansen straighten oout the Strike line on a 1971 Steinway D with an original amazing Sitka board I should say unstraighten. It was quite a curvy looking arrangement when done which set the pianos upper end free. Amazing sustain. It's amzing to me the extra power & clarity,sustain & melodic range that increases by doing this. IMHO all C's, B's & Ds benefit from this protocol Any way I couldn't jump into this.It is gratifying to see all the passion, opinons & suggestions on this issue. RIc on an original board One must notch in the piano. This is not a new board. When the bridge is out I always do it on the bench. I'm getting to ol d to do it in the piano & to no advantage. You Know? As to recordings I love that idea but I have so much work in shop I don't have time to do that. Anybody know some one I can hire to do this? I think it's a great idea as long as the equipment is good at the other end. Dale Hi Dale Cool... I see you do your notching in the piano instead of on the bench, and it looks like you bang em out. Is this what you do for all bridge work ? What kind of nice looking marking are you planning on using to show the world the modifications are your puppies. I really thought Ron Overs small decal right under the Steinway bow was beautiful to look at. Very classy. Why dont you do a easy deasy quick recording and put a few samples up on the net for all to hear.... I've wondered why more dont do that given the absurdly low cost of quite good recording options available in our times.... seems like excellent marketing technique to me.
