Haven't we all? I mean..... how many hymnals are serving double duty ?

Actually, for stage pianos, no. I've measured deflection without toe
blocks and with, and the toe blocks seem to be enough.<br><br>

While hunting for "every little bit" of
projection for a D I service, I discovered the extra belly brace sold by
PianoTek. It's for the treble, and really helped octaves 61/2 thru to the
top. Better projection, little higher volume, much better sustain. Not
too expensive, and a piece-o-cake to install and test. Y'know, when
every little thing adds up to get more..... more. Also, is the piano
"grounded"? Big halls laugh at pianos on flexing,
rubber-wheeled springs. A couple of blocks for under the front work
wonders.<br><br>
