John, <br><br>
You were talking about pounding the living daylights out of the hammers.
<br>
Don't you think that's going to compress the felts just a
"little" bit <br>
at the strike point? Making (eventually, anyway) for some fairly <br>
unpleasant, way too bright, sounds? I deal all the time with good
pianos<br>
in a VERY high usage environment, so it sounds kind of similar to me.
<br><br>
Maybe I'm wrong. Been so before. But I personally don't want to treat a
<br>
hammer that way. The students do it for me! JMO. :-D<br><br>
