I often think there may be someone who enjoys it for what it is, maybe even hears or knows how to bring out things that the professional technician can't because he's too distracted by what it's doing wrong. And a lot of the time, like in one of these Aeolian-era M&H's, I think they may be worth working with, within whatever budget the customer may have, to bring out potential that's been lying dormant for the pianos entire life so far.> I agree. Our assignment, if we choose to accept it, is to help each piano we encounter to realize its potential. If an Aeolian-era M&H hasn't been regulated or voiced since it's creation 30 years ago, it for sure has unrealized potential. The improvement was dramatic, and the customer was grateful. Of course, this does not alter the fact that many other pianos might please her more than that particular instrument. Mike
