Hi Richard,

I am thinking the room is more the problem than the piano.  If the
piano will not reach out then super heavy hammer may help but at a
tremendous cost of touch weight.  The room needs tuning, not the
piano.  Does the teacher wear a microphone?  Then so should the
piano.  In a practice room it was overwhelming, in the classroom it is
underwhelming.  That should tell you something about the piano
itself.  Yes it may need hammers but will they solve the problem?  I
don't think so.

Just my opinion mind you.
