What is it about the piano you don't like?  Heavy action and...?   I think=20
putting "D" hammers on it probably didn't complement the character  of the p=
iano=20
or make it sound anything like a "D".  IMHO, the best  Masons have a rich,=20
lustrous tone.  My 1919 AA has Ronsen hammers on  it--pre-Wurzen, too--and i=
t=20
really sings. =20

My advice is to make connections with people in your chapter and solicit =20
advice about action, hammers, voicing, etc.  Just because you  personally ca=

ch=20
cheaper than buying a new piano.

What would your alternative piano B?
