[CAUT] What the.....?

[Delwin D Fandrich]

You youngsters are just too inexperienced to know about these things. This
was a technique actually promoted for a time back in the dark days of piano
technology as a means of "increasing downbearing." I can remember going to a
class taught by someone whose name I no longer remember-probably wouldn't
say even if I did-in which this was suggested even when the piano was being
"rebuilt."

 

Bad idea then; bad idea now.

My first guess is lack of sound due to no downbearing.  A tuner probably
experimented with one string and it helped enough to do the rest of the
bass.
