<DIV>Jurgen,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I wondered if I actually posted that, and went back to research what I
actually said. Yes, I omitted a rather key word, and I apologize if I =
kept
anyone in suspense...TONE is what I meant to say here.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And now that you mention it, I've had a little over a week to play=
the
piano. I touched up the tuning in the killer octave, did a bit of
regulating and some una corda voicing. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will now unabashedly state that my piano sounds and feels better than=
it
ever has. I guess Andre's description of the tone as having more "focu=
s"
would describe it pretty well. As a bonus, I can beat the holy crap ou=
t of
my piano, and it still sounds musical.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you tend to be skeptical as I do, don't believe me; just buy a=
bag
and try them. It's cheap considering the huge improvements that are
possible from using these little things.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Conically yours,</DIV>
