           I say this with all due respect. While I'm aware this happens and 
I guess the customers is always right since as it is there piano, but that 
doesnt' mean the piano was producing  its optimal tone. It may mean that the 
raw hammer was producing a better sound than what wa  heard before and had 
they trusted your judgement a bit firther they would have had something 
perhaps even more thrilling. I wonder if the treble is by now producing the 
sounds of shattering glass or perhaps if you got a softer set of renners as I 
did years ago. These are quality hammers but the ones I've seen in recent 
years always needed  voicing especially in the money notes(5 and 6 octaves)
    Do you know if the client is still ecstatic?
