<DIV>Greetings,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Last year a customer re=
cently bought a new Kawaii 6' grand. She complained that the piano soun=
ded "stringy". I observed that when the damper felts raised with t=
he keystroke this is what was causing the strings to "zi=
ng" causing the "stringy" sound. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I told her to "wear in"=
the piano in a year or so and the noise would diminish. Sure enough no=
w,. a year later the piano sounds much better. However she would like w=
hat she refers to as a "richer" sound. I believe I can accomplish this =
with voicing, but I don't know how to go about it. What gives a piano a rich=
er sound? I would think "rich" entails a deep "thunderous" b=
ass and a very and velvety midrange along with a mellow treble,&nb=
sp; as opposed to a "twinkly" or "glittery" treble. Any suggestio=
ns on how to accomplish this would be helpful.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance</DIV>
