This is a GF2 (5'10")  in an auditorium that seats about 200. But it's a "fundamental" church, complete with drum sets, stage lighting, etc. You know what I'm talking about. The piano hasn't even been played in church because it was badly out of tune. I told the pastor to mike the piano and put a monitor behind the player, which he said they will do. 


They are not even aware that there is a problem. The lack of power was my observation as I was doing to final tuning. The overall tone is weak, but especially in the killer octaves. I'm scheduled to go back at the end of May, at which time I will assess the situation, and make a recommendation.

PS. They did have some sheep around a manger set outside the church, Maybe I can get some of their wool. :)

Wim,
How small is this small Yamaha grand? And how big is the church?

We usually have knock the edge off Yamaha hammers. But a church just got a small grand where the killer octaves need a little boost.  What is the recommended method for "juicing" up Yamaha hammers
