<html> Hi Kent,                Since you have RCT.  If you examine the partial series on pianalyser, (Bloom) you will note a  slower ramp on amplitude for each partial, and good strong sustain on each.  Vs, (In your face),an explosive large amplitude fundamental, with low amplitude and short sustain of the partial series.   Bloom would be a warmer sounding instrument with good variance in colour range. Well that's my take on it. regards Roger At 10:10 PM 3/17/02 -0600, you wrote: >On 3/17/02 2:52 PM, "JWyatt1492@AOL.COM" <JWyatt1492@AOL.COM> wrote: > >> Conover!  77 is a 5'8" and one of the very best.
