He & I both serv= iced the piano the entire time & I was never particularly fond of it. Hated t= he bass strings. Good board but nasty hammers. It's in a high use assembly of G= od Church so it'll be interesting to see how its' held up.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>   We replaced the Bass strings with Arledge product & installed the wurzens ... Oh My Goodness what an awesome transformation. Prefiling installation & string mating is all th= at was required. I'll see it again maybe this week. It was a very rich & expensive sounding instrument. WOW! I'll let you know</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>  Go for it & don't look back</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>  Dale Erwin</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><= FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial color=#000000 size= =2>Question is, does anyone have insights on the benefits of putting different<BR>hamm= ers (i.e. non hard-pressed types) onto an <BR>excellent Yamaha action? &n= bsp; ( I love the precision of the Japanese/Yamaha,<BR>but I also serve several= pianists who are dyed in the wool Steinway people.<BR>who don't care for t= he tone of Asian hammers, even after careful-balanced<BR>voicing). </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
