Arlie Baldwin's are notorious for weak trebles. The first thing I would suggest is reshape the hammers.?Remove several layers. Then, as has been suggested,?make sure they are mated to the strings, etc.?While the action is out, you should also seat the strings on the capo?bar,?tap the bridge pins, and seat the strings on the bridge. If all of this doesn't work, then you have a belly problem, and?it's time to give the piano to Del and him work his "magic". ???

Previous music ministers used it as it was, but the new one would like more volume from the treble. It is weak-sounding in the treble. It's not a great piano, but it is big! It is generally in fine condition otherwise.? ? I have been thinking about using some hammer hardener, but is that the answer?? ? Any valuable and practical suggestions are welcome.? ?
