First wait the string to settle a bit ( a few days, up to a week) , and check the strike point for all the hammers, is it optimal, possibly you have to reglue some portion of the treble, and anyway to position the action. Before deciding the tone is definitively too thin, hammers have to be played for some time, and definitively shaped. On dope, for European style hammers, uit is only for the last treble hammers if we want tokeep that lively quality that gives the unlaquered hammer if working well. For the US heads, I don't have experience with it. Best regards. Isaac OLEG Entretien et reparation de pianos.
