10 year old pianos that have never been voiced?   Eeeew.  This is your
chance to be a really big hero (that is, if the owners are wanting a
change).

Well, there is part of the problem. The owners seem perfectly happy with
their pianos. And being an engineer with quantitative proclivities it is
difficult for me to sell a job to a customer where I cannot guarantee what
the results will be nor that they will like them. 

 

I appreciate the responses. I've done the pre-voicing work Roger speaks of,
no problem there. Still does not improve what I consider poor sustain. I
want to believe that better quality hammers will help. I just don't want to
experiment with hundreds of dollars worth of time and material when the
customer isn't complaining.
