Hi Ed Shift the action further in if possible, for the hammers is striking the capo bridge rather than the strings.

The piano has nice tone and he likes it except that the tone attack is unusually wooden. As the hammer strikes the string it has a very prominent "Thunk." Played softly the effect is unheard, but any moderate to heavy strike has this unpleasant start to the tone. In the top half octave say G#7 on up, there is virtually no pitch, just this whack of a noise. I have tried to voice it out with no success.
