What you describe is the results of hammers that cooperate and folks who understand how to get them in a voicing stable condition. Also In the states  think there are a few voicers that fall in to this catagory and by the way some are on this list.     Cheers----Dale <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px"> Sure Dale... but just what do you want me to clarify ? I suppose its the bit about how long a voicing lasts ???. If so I can say that I have seen the results of two people who I classify as voicing specialists, or masters. They are exceptional at creating the sound they want, and both get results that last a good deal longer then the length of a concert. That being said, 40 hours or so of such use will really be noticable, but I wouldnt go so far as to say the voicing is completely going even by then.. actually far from it. I suppose its a bit relative... somewhat like a concert tuning. A very stable tuning in a good climate will survive a concert quite well. And can even survive a weeks use quite well, but for sure as time goes on you will increasingly notice a change. Is this what you were after.
