Are there any remedial steps that I could take for my client=B9s =B3cold=B2 GS-70=
?
The church loves it, BTW, but other pianists in that small town hate it.

Hey, Dean----

Try these things:

1) tighten all plate bolts

2) lift, level, and seat the strings

3) raise the pitch and FINE tune

4) bed the keyframe, then add an extra 1/4 turn to each glide bolt.

5) make the hammers softer and springier (if possible, replace  the hammers
   w/ new Renners or Abels, the best quality.)

6)precisely and completely regulate the action; time the dampers

On most Asian pianos, doing the above will make a striking, radical
improvement  in the depth, projection, and sustain of a piano.  You'll be a
hero.
