I hope the Steinway tech didn't throw them away!!

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. ...

I didn't say anything to anyone, but waited for the response. They both got a full regulation as well, which helped them both a lot, but when I asked how they liked the aftertouch specifically, I got nothing but raving reviews. I like the feel better as well a lot more than regular punchings. Much easier to get good consistancy note to note. I install them narrow side up as intended.

If this is the case I would imagine that you prefer a little more cushion at the bottom of the key stroke. I used a set recently and I'm not sure how much I liked the feel. They felt hard to me - I'm not sure I would put them on my own piano. However, I'm trying to keep an open mind and I probably need more experience with them before I make up my mind. People here seem to really love them - however I wonder if this not more from a technicians point of view than a piano player's. For the player it's all about comfort - and not about what makes setting key dip easier.

Narrow end up or down? I like the feel with the narrow end down but is that wrong? Will that effect wear? Help!
