That is not always the case. I think we are spinning our wheels here.

I remember for instance this older Yamaha Richard voiced at our workshop in Holland. We installed brand new - very high - quality Wurzen hammers on this otherwise not so great piano and the result was that we brought it on a much, but much, higher level.
