WOW Lighten up! Jurgen is a valued member & colleague of this list. Perhaps your'e new here but one purpose of this list is to critique & expose ourselves to new & useful products.

Apologize or Get Lost...really Sincerely Dale From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of pianotek2000 at aol.com Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 8:21 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] wurzen front punching felt The list shouldn't be used for this kind of blatant commercialization. Run an ad, Jurgen, and quit using the list to sell your products. You're a nothing in this industry.

The short answer is "very well, thank you", judging by the sales numbers. Admittedly, it is mainly the high end rebuilders who use this punching almost exclusively. As has been noted, there are cases where the Crescendos may not be the best option, and of course personal preference always plays into it as well. The fact that top end companies such as Steingraeber (and others) are using this felt is an unspoken endorsement. For=2 0more user opinions on Crescendos, see: http://www.pianofortesupply.com/cresc.testimonia.html Someone mentioned ironing the conventional green punchings. I have also heard of using hammer hardener on FR punchings. To suggest this as an alternative to Crescendo punchings is naive. The Crescendo felt has a certain firmness and density, but the proprietary felting method used, which is akin to the famous Wurzen hammer felt, preserves the natural resilience of the wool fiber. Pressing felt with heat will destroy the resilience which is needed to cushion the key blow. <smaller>Jurgen Goering Piano Forte Supply (250) 754-2440 info at pianofortesupply.com http://www.pianofortesupply.com</smaller> [Image Removed] Listen to 350+ music, sports, & news radio stations – including songs for the holidays – FREE while you browse.
