I have seen questions from various technicians asking about increasing the lower octave depth of sound. I haven't seen much for answers. There are plenty of answers as to increasing the upper harmonics response. Does anyone have methods that will hold on to upper harmonics but substantially increase the lower harmonics for notes in the bass section of a piano? In other words add that deep, thick sound? I have been of the opinion that some pianos have the low harmonics already in the instrument and some don't. Can this opinion be challenged? I have played and serviced SSDs that have a rich deep sound in the bass section and others that don't. New hammers (cold or hot pressed) don't seem to change the situation. Am I missing something?
