Hello,

This is my first time posting to the channel. 

I want to know how bright a voiced and regulated Steinway should be? The 
reason I ask is because a technician just voiced and regulated my Steinway L, 
and it sounds so dull and soft that I want to call him back to tell him to 
re-voice it! But I know he will say that Steinways are supposed to be 
textured and less brighter than the Asian pianos. 

I will counter by saying that at my local music institute, all of the pianos 
are "lacquered" to make them quite bright. I love brightness, as long as it 
is not metallic or brittle sounding.

So my question is, do you lacquer your Steinways on a regular basis? Because 
most or if not all of them come out of the factory quite dull.

Andy
