It might very well be that the piano is being played at the right = volume, but that the congregation has never heard a piano before. They = might be used to hearing the organ played softly, and maybe the other = piano was soft too, so they don't sing very loud. =20 Before doing anything drastic, ask the piano player to play a little = softer, but then over the next couple of months, increase the volume a = little. The congregation might have to learn to sign a little louder. Wim=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
