Barbara, The lacquer and needling treatments posted have been terrific. Remember though, also, that to really get the most power, "voicing" starts at the keybed. Make sure the frame is bedded, and that the piano is grounded. Either on castors or with blocks under the stage trucks. Make sure hammer travel is as long as you can get away with, and the hammers hit the strings .... perfectly... It's like a race car, y'know. The difference is in the tweaking, and every little bit helps. Oh.... speaking of which.... consider the add-on belly brace from PianoTek, also. Another "edge". Point is.... don't always rely on the poor drunken hammers to get you there.
