 By the way, "dead" covers a lot of subjective territory here. Maybe you
 could define "dead". Is the sound muffled, with little sustain, muffled,
 with long sustain, not particularly muffled, with short sustain, ???

It is worse in the tenor, esp. next to the lively plain strings.  The notes 
in the tenor are soft with a short sustain.  The bass is somewhat better in 
sustain but who ever rewhatevered the piano put in balloons for hammers so 
that maybe some of the basses problem.
