(Yes the same one) First, I misinterpreted the faculty's comments. It wasn't= "brassy" as such, as much as it lacked focus. I perceived this= to mean to bright. So I voiced it down. But now he says it has= lost it's power. He says the hammers will never come back. Is he= right, or is there a way to get the power back on without them= becoming too brassy? The other problem, which I also misunderstood, is a noisy action.= He said something about it when he complained about uneven= voicing with the soft pedal on, but I missed his comments. I= compared the action noise with that of the other D, and there= does seem to be a little more action noise. I've narrowed it= down to when the hammer returns, kind a of a mild knocking= sound. I tried voicing up the wippen cushion, but that didn't do= anything. Could it be that the back under key felt is too hard?= Would that solve the noisy action? (remember, this piano is less= than 2 years old.
