Hi  Wim,
Have the hammers been recently reshaped?   If the strike surface of  the 
hammer is even in density you will hear little or no difference.
If you  have some string grooves just stating to form, you should hear a big  
difference.

The hammers are relatively new, and the piano only gets played about 10  
hours a month, if that much. So there are virtually no string  groves. That is why 
I don't understand why this professor uses the pedal so  much. I don't hear a 
difference, and I think he has just gotten in the  habit, without it having 
any effect on the timbre. The only thing he  complains about is a couple of 
hammers that do have a zing. Then he trashes the  whole piano.
