<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Wendy,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As with any voicing go easy at first =
and get a feel
for what the hammer is doing in responce to the vise grips.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Other than that go to it with the same =
idea in mind
as with asy other needle steam etc voicing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I like to think of three spots two of =
which are the
same.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Think upright with me now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The tip #1 and the other two the top =
and bottom
sholder.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Squeezing the two and three will mostly =
give more
rebound to the hammer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the tip will soften the tone unless =
the hammers
are like rocks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>then it will slightly open up the
tone.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Work a little on each piano at the bass =
tenor break
and get the feel of what is likely to happen.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good luck in your efforts.</FONT></DIV>
