Hi List,
This reminds me of a customer, a few years ago, who had a Heintzman
piano.
As I was tuning it, I thought to myself, this piano is dead,
it doesn't sound like a Heintzman.
When I finished tuning, I asked the customer if she liked the=20
sound. She asked me why, so I said I thought it was not up
to what I thought a Heintzman should be.
She said to me, in the 30 years that she had had the piano,
 from new, I was the first one to tell her something was wrong=20
with it. Then she said that from the time it was new, she had
thought something was wrong with it.=20
I took the grooves out of the hammers, and juiced them a bit.
She was really pleased.
I can only think, that no one had mentioned anything to her,
as they thought a Heintzman was an excellent piano, and it
must be right.
Best regards,
