Dear List, I just tuned a new 48 or 50" Yamaha upright at a church ( forget what model ). It was clean, shiny and new, and had a uniform action. But, frankly, the tone lacked "depth". The words "Two Dimensional" and "Superficial" come to mind. For all of their other problems, a nasty, clunky, filthy old American upright from the teens still has more "depth" of tone, more resonance than this thing does! That is my subjective opinion. Can someone put it into objective, scientific terms and offer an explanation or remedy?
