Alicia: You said the piano was dropped with no damage to the soundboard or backposts. That's good. But what about the keybed position with the action bracket posts? Is there a structural or positional issue there? From what you've been saying, it sounds to be a possibility.

I've tried all sorts of hammers from grands uprights, etc but none that are to my likeing, I've managed to rake up some experience over? last 3 years or so, and never crossed a piano thats as weird as mine. ? Speaking of hammers, I read in April addition of PTG journal about new type of hammers, that arent bleeched etc, anyone experienced them yet? ?

If you get dull tone plucking the string, there probably won't be much you can to with the hammer.
