I have an average of 2,5 to 3 N (too much?) _and_ a very low action. I try to strike the courses like you would be nervously tapping your fingertips on a table. The angle of my fingers toward the course is something like 45°. That's how I feel comfortable, and I'm rather content wiht the resulting sound which resembles, say, a virginal. -- Best wishes, Mathias Mathias Roesel, Grosze Annenstrasze 5, 28199 Bremen, Deutschland/ Germany, T/F +49 - 421 - 165 49 97, Fax +49 1805 060 334 480 67, E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] , [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
