Tuning one of the many Hamilton studios in my area and got to wondering...
 
I've never liked the sound of the things because they are whiney and many
low tenor and treble unisons just don't get very "clean." So I did a few
little checks: Yep, hammers off center, strings at different heights (or
hammers hitting obliquely or misshapen), bridge seating not great, etc.
 
Question: Did any of you folks every really work over one of these
things--you know, a real good repair, regulation, and voicing job like one
might do on a nice rebuilt grand, 'frinstance?
 
In other words, we know they are the Humvees of pianos for churches and
schools and all, but could there also be a real musical instrument lurking
in there, somewhere? I wonder ...
