I am sorry pal, have you forgotten the thorough Yamaha key dip lessons? For me anyway there is a golden rule : Everything starts with touching a key. The output depends on the input. Give any decent instrument a really good and precise key dip and regulation and the result will almost always be very nice and very satisfying. Aftertouch is the last regulation procedure and I like that the most. because it shows whether I have done a thorough regulation, or not. Aftertouch also shows that in some places the action is willing to 'give more', and in other places less. The beauty of this is that it all depends on the making of a superb key dip/key frame regulation, which I consider an art in itself. another euro cent friendly greetings from André Oorebeek Antoni van Leeuwenhoekweg 15 1401 VW, Bussum the Netherlands tel : +31 35 6975840 gsm : +31 652 388008 www.concertpianoservice.nl "where Music is, no harm can be" -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
