Good Morning Class. I service a Wurlitzer C-153 that is that is now being used 6 nights a week in a local restaurant. The last time I tuned it (4 weeks ago!), I noticed that there was little to no projection coming from this little Grand. The Piano was bought originally with the 'intent' of it being used 2 nights a week...well now...since the restaurant is doing well and the patrons like "wallpaper", it is being used more than what it is really desingned for..right Roger?!? The piano sits on a tile floor, so there's no carpeting to soak up the sound, or in this case, the lack of it. The hammers are probably as hard as the tile floor, and I will inspect them at my next tuning (ie: the next time they complain about the piano). suggestions warmly welcomed, roo(k)
