<< But in this case I'm wondering if removing
 hammer mass wouldn't be adequate. The hammers are completely untapered,
 and there's lots of wood that could be removed. I have done this on other
 grands with good results. Is this a reasonable diagnosis? Are there
 factors I'm missing?

Not only hammer, but you might also try to get rid of some of the shank mass,
if that can be done.
