David Love davidlovepianos@comcast.net ------------ In principle I agree 100 %. RicB I don't often disagree with David Love, but I do here. The original problem was that a Yamaha C2 didn't sound large enough for a particular [large] space. At that point, the technician has two options: 1) If the hammers are, in the technician's opinion, already developing full brightness when played forte, tell the professor that the piano ISN'T large enough, and that doping will cause other problems. Sometimes our experience requires us to say, "No." 2) If the hammers are, in the technician's opinion, on the dark side, use juice appropriate to the situation. In other words, if they are just all over dark, a weak drop near the tip for added zing, or if they aren't developing enough buzz at ff, put THE RIGHT AMOUNT in the shoulders. In either case, the doctor doesn't let the patient prescribe; and it is up to the technician to predict the results of his work. It is possible to make quite a difference with dope and still have it reversible, and it is possible to go part way and check the results with the client before doing something extreme. I suspect the rinsing will do the job and not require replacement, but in either case, I'd eat the expense.
