<DIV> Maybe so but I've heard recordings of my own pianos & they
really sounded like my piano so what I am saying that it is possible to get =
a
realistic flavor of a given piano and we tuners have a very sophisticated se=
t of
ears. A true picture is rarely possible on recordings but they've gott=
en
better as some people who know piano tone also become recording engineers.&n=
bsp;
Jeff Stradling & a Yamaha recording artist hinself recently recorde my S=
twy
D & his results were very life like & and as good as any I've
heard. Mic placement has a huge amount to do with it of
course.</DIV>
<DIV> All that to say is that I will not discount what I heard. =
It
was very pleasantly different & similar to some of the results that I've=
gotten in my own designs. A good recording CAN reflect the true nature=
of
the sound.</DIV>
