Ed,

Funny you should ask this as I have one in my clientele that has the same
tonal qualities. I have done some shoulder needling that helped some. I'm
thinking more needling will help more. But I too wonder if this brittle
quality is an inherent part of the piano.

  Dear Pros!
      Has anyone out there experience and opinions about voicing Schimmel
pianos, especially the 6'10" grand?
      My experience of these pianos amounts to 2 on the showroom floor.
They seem mechanically wonderful, but the sound leaves me cold. Brittle,
bright, no change of timbre.
      One of these is available at a price a teacher can afford, but it is
so far off from her ideals of sound that I hesitate to mention it.
      Can these pianos be made warm, rich, gentle on the ears in a small
studio?
      Thank you.
          Ed Sutton
