<HTML><BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff">List, What I'd really like for Christmas is a good book or video on voicing. &= nbsp;  I feel am getting the hang of it, and have come up with som= e good results, but I tend to be timid about over-puncturing hammers.  = And I'd certainly like to see a demo of battery voicing before I bludgeon so= meone's nice, new grand piano with sharp objects.  Diagrams and graphic= illustrations would be good:  where to stick needles, angle of travel,= depth of insertion, and for what effect, etc.  Of particular interest = to me would be "voicing up."   The recent thread about fine-grit hammer sanding had some interesting co= ntributions. Does anyone on this list know of a comprehensive text on this topic? &nb= sp;I'm looking forward to the publishing of Andre's book....:-)  I'm on= pins and needles (sorry, couldn't resist) awaiting an autographed copy. &nb= sp; Just thought I'd inquire, Dave Stahl</HTML>
