On a piano that old, it's probably the bass strings and/or a bridge
problem. <br><br>

When
the bass hammers of a particular turn of the century upright are played
they sound "tubby", a very "round" dull sound. Would
these hammers be a candidate for hardening solution or is it the strings'
quality? I think it is the hammers because the bass hammers have hardly
any grooves and show little wear.<br>
Suggestions?<br><br>
