[pianotech] Wurzen conical Punching

[Andrew & Rebeca Anderson]

I too experienced that with a Steinway D.  The professors were quite  
amazed with the change in touch and liked it.  I was concerned that  
the landing would be too hard but they said they much preferred a  
crisp landing.

Then the Steinway tech came to deal with a warranty issue and took  
them all out.  Now no-one wants to play the D and the old B is the  
current favorite.  ...
