[pianotech] "killer octave' cure

When at Oberlin last summer, something very simple was shown to us to 
focus tone and increase sustain mildly.  Hypo-oiler acetone down at the 
staple section...enough to where it's almost saturated but not creaping up 
to the shoulders as best as you can control it.  It had a suprisingly nice 
effect.

I was thinking of some mild juicing but I was did not want to change the
timbre a lot.

What do you mean "build up"?

I have several customers that own Steinway D's in there home and from time
to time are interested in having me re-voice their pianos to build up the
area of the killer octave. I am reluctant to do this because the pianos
sound very even going thru these areas. Does the Pianotec treble tone
resonator work in situations such as this? Are there any negative side
effects to it at all?
