Even with small pianos it should be possible to make them sound acceptable to good through the 2/3rds to 3/4ths of the scale that most music uses most of the time. About new hammers, I don't know. It's not really our customer. We're just doing the catastrophic repairs. The soundboard, pinblock and structural stuff. The action was only regulated because the hammers has shifted toward the bass side sometime during its trip out here from the east. We're certainly going to recommend it to the servicing technician and to the owner when we deliver it on Monday. We'll see. Del
