Alan: Is it really a lack of "brilliance" or lack of power & sustain? If it really is lack-of-brilliance take your clothes iron (you do carry a regular clothes iron with you, don't you) and set it a little hotter than Wool and see if that gets you anything. If it doesn't do much, at least you've done something that he could see and you can then do the slight-of-hand routine. ;-) dp David M.

I listenened, and proposed to voice down the surrounding octaves. He wants me to brighten up the octave in question instead. I've never had to make a Yamaha brighter before. I would probably be inclined toward some slight of hand if not for the fact that he sits there and watches the entire time I am working on his piano. I cannot imagine juicing Yamaha hammers. Is there another way to go other than filing the hammers in the C5-B5 octave?
