Well Diki, claiming something is "perfect" and "can't be improved" is just inviting a detailed inspection of said item, as everyone knows there is no such thing in reality.

Putting EQ on a piano with uneven notes in the middle will not correct the problem, Diki...I'm surprised a studio rat like yourself doesn't know this fact.

It's like having a mechanic who can't fix your brakes...so he makes your horn louder.

You must remember...I did not say the piano sounded "bad"...just "uneven in the middle"...and since you claim that it is used on a lot of recordings, then it must be still useful.

Imperfections give an instrument (or a person)"character".

If you spent some of your valuable time investigating the middle range, you have already discovered I am right...and although you will come to the grim realization that the sound is not "perfect" (as you claim), you can find solace in that it is perfect for your needs....much like my S900 is perfect for mine.
