Mike writes: and I did tell them we could probably do something with acoustic baffling using egg crate foam rubber to create a more pleasing sound. They have to play it with the top closed and it can still be a little loud. ...........It plays OK for their purposes but could use a regulation including hammer shape, knuckle and backcheck bolstering and some repinning of flanges. Another possibility is voicing. Many Yamahas from this period had very stiff hammers. By the work it needs, it has been played some, possibly exacerbating that. Loosening up those hammers can not only remove some of the shrillness, it can increase the sustain, making it sound less choppy. The foam helps with the quantity of sound, but if it's shrill, it'll still be shrill, just not as loud. I take care of a couple of C7's in big living rooms which sound fine after appropriate voicing.
