She resorted to putting some pillows behind it, because as some of her better students played, it would become almost painful. Is mere voicing going to help here, or should I do something else. I have considered the Woolite treatment, which I have never used before, but am willing to try. >> Maybe the key word is that this teacher is using a Baldwin Acrosonic as her teaching piano. Now, I have always considered this the finest Spinet I have ever encountered-but it is, nevertheless, a Spinet with limited tonal possibilities. Try the Woolite treatment-it has worked for me (also might try fabric softener-non fragranced). But remember:we are not dealing with a Grand piano of any note-just a very fine Spinet.
