Much Prayer. Much incense. Make it louder than hell, and hope no one notices. The cynic might observe that contemporary voicing techniques lend themselves quite well to dealing with such instruments...the practitioners get a good deal of practice. By comparison, the last D for which I took responsibility, needed a new board/etc, so I sent it out and did the action myself. With minimal hardening throughout, especially in the extremes of the range, the sound positively jumped off the board. The belly work on this instrument was done by Peter Mohr, Franz' older son, at New England Classic Piano Restorations. (Shameless plug for good work.) Geez! It's Friday! Best. Horace
