Congratulations to Joe Goss who answered correctly to the Yamaha damper ring-through problem. The fall board on this instrument can be lifted out without removing any screws, just a slightly tricky spring clip on the left side. This one was out on one side and resting on the keys. I was preparing for the worst, but glad to find a simple solution! Now, my question. At the school where I work, I've moved a Whitney grand (itty bitty) into a storeroom for additional practice for some of our students. I know this piano has gotten some PSO (piano shaped object) references in the past, but I'd like to make this thing sound nice. One teacher has expressed an interest in using this for recording - yikes! Since I work at the school, time is really no object, but money is. It would be hard to convince the money people to pay to rescale, or re hammer this instrument. I'll try any voicing, tuning (Bill B. did you mention an appropriate HT for small pianos a while back?) regulating hints that the list may come up with and post back the results. Also any recording tricks to come up with a "good" sound?
