Absolutely, brother: the “dirty little secret of the light-plat=
e Yamaha C series grand pianos; some of those suckers have some incredibly s=
trong plate resonance, especially in octaves 4.5 to 6. And I have a co=
nfession to make: if the customer doesn’t complain, I don’=
t say s**t---because what can I do?<BR>
<BR>
What can I do? Ron N.? Special mass loaders for the plate? A big fat dead g=
uy draped behind the hitch and hanging off the back of the piano?<BR>
What? Please help me. Please.<BR>
