then it is
possible by an overall lightening of the gauges to free up the tone
by reducing the mean tension to say 160 lbf and to achieve a singing
and soulful piano from what was a rather stiff and Yamaha-like piano.

I would suggest if there were two strings instead of three, through the
treble) that might not "choke the tone" so much.   The "loudest" piano I
have so far heard was an old Fisher upright two stringer.  ---ric
