Where I have determined the tone of a piano to be too bright, (after proper string and hammer voicing), and the room too small or 'live' to handle the overtones, I have muted duplex scales to bring the darn thing under control. Sometimes it's downright dramatic. Listen close, make your judgement based on musicality and your client's desires. It's another fun variation in our form of 'art'. Our chief job is to make this piano act like a magnet, so your client can't walk by it without wanting to play!! Ya gotta love these things. Roger C. Hayden, RPT
