Did you wish to do voicing because it was too bright/dark or some thing else? Just interested in your take as opposed to the clients.</BLOCKQUOTE>          Thanks                     Dale Erwin <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px"> I service a very nice 90 year old R. It was restrung a couple years ago. I replaced hammers shanks and flanges. Abel light from Wally Brooks. Wally did all the boring & mounting. I know folks will shake their heads at this - and I'm not suggesting I did the right thing, BUT, I did absolutely no voicing on these things - just wanted to see how they sounded before I started to voice them - the lady slapped my little patties when I tried to take the action out to do a little voicing and said that she never heard a piano so lovely. So, I have not yet voiced them (about two years now), and this is one of the best sounding instruments I service. Terry Farrell   </BLOCKQUOTE> </HTML>
